Daryl Kramp, a prominent political figure in the Hastings-Lennox and Addinging area, passed away Thursday at the age of 76.
Kramp served as Conservative Member of Parliament for Hastings-Prince Edward from 2004-15. Later he successfully ran at the provincial level, winning the seat for the Hastings-Lennox and Addington riding from 2018-22, choosing not to seek re-election in 2022.
