Orville
“Bud” H. Kemink, 78, of Waupun, went home to his Lord and Savior on Wednesday,
September 30, 2015.
Orville was
born February 7, 1937 in Brandon, the son of the late Otto and Cornelia Buteyn
Kemink. On June 19, 1958 he married
Betty Westerveld. He was a charter member of Bethel Christian Reformed Church
in Waupun. Instilling the Christian faith into his children and family was a
priority. He loved spending time with his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren
and extended family. Bud and Betty spent
their first few years farming before Orville started buying and selling cattle
which became his passion and enjoyment in life. He was a member of the Holstein
Association for over 50 years. Bud and Betty enjoyed many trips together.

survived by his wife of 57 years, Betty; five children: Kathleen Hoekstra
(fiancé, Scott Stobb) of Waupun, Bradley (Melinda) Kemink of Friesland, Bryan

(Jim) Allen of Westmont, IL; 23 grandchildren; 19 great-grandchildren; and
sisters: Carol (Harold) Greenfield and Ellen Kemink.
He was
preceded in death by his brother and sister-in-law, Harland and Lorraine Kemink.
