The Gonzo team extends its thoughts and prayers to the family of R. Crosby Kemper, Jr., the maverick banker who built UMB into the gold standard bank it is today.

Our industry’s great bankers have always possessed vision, tenacity, frugality, wisdom and a deep sense of civic leadership and pride. Mr. Kemper exemplified all the traits of a legendary Gonzo banker, and here’s hoping our industry creates new great builders cut from this same cloth.
