Topic: Charles Stanislaus Krempeaux

Charles Stanislaus Krempeaux (1881 - March 8, 1973) is my grandfather and my father's father.

His father's name is also Charles Krempeaux. I do not remeber his father's middle name. (I do know his father is buried in France somewhere. Although I do not know where.) I do not know his mother's name either.

My grandfather, Charles Stanislaus Krempeaux, was from France, but came to Canada, and later married Helen Elizabeth Kerr.

Based on his military enlistment document, he had blue eyes and brown hair.

His Siblings

He had 2 sisters. But I don't really know their names. Although I think one of them was named: Charlotte Krempo. Note she that she spelt the last name a little differently. (I saw it written for her as "Krempo" instead of "Krempeaux".)

One of them had a son, but he was killed in a POW camp in World War II. (I don't know his name either.) I don't think this nephew of my grandfather had any children.

His Career

From what I was told by my father, he was some kind of Engineer by profession. He also served in the Canadian Army during World War I. And later in his life worked for Canada Customs.

His Family

He married (my grandmother) Helen Elizabeth Kerr, and had three children.

1. Paul Douglas Krempeaux
2. Charles Robert Krempeaux (my Dad)
3. Audrey Jane Krempeaux

His Death

He died at the age of 93... after being a smoker all his life and being mustard gased in World War I. (Which is quite impressive. Especially during the era he lived in.)

I never met him. He died a little before my parents got married, in the 1970s.

My Dad wasn't there for him for his death. (My Dad was working in Iran at the time, where he later met my Mother.)

My Dad told me he always regretted not being there for his Dad, when he was dying. (I'm glad I was there for my Dad when he was dying.)
