He was preceded in death by his wife of 50 years, Billie J., nee Cook, Kaemmerer who died in 2005; his brother, Harold Kaemmerer and a sister-in-law, Virginia Kaemmerer

Surviving are his son, Cletus R. (Stella) Kaemmerer Jr., and a daughter, Tracey (Richard) Hartmann; Grandchildren, Cletus R. (Amanda) Kaemmerer III., Charles H. Kaemmerer, Kami A. Hartmann and Jessica L. Hartmann; and one great-grandson, Chase Remington Kaemmerer; and a brother, Charles Kaemmerer and many dear in-laws, nieces, nephews, cousins and dear friends.

The family wishes to express their deepest gratitude and thanks to Dr. David O’Neill and to his wonderful staff for all of their kindness and unconditional support and love through this difficult time with their father.
