He is survived by his wife, Marlu’ twin brother, Donald; sister, Janet; three children; three step-children; and several grandchildren and great grandchildren.
I worked for Bob at Zehpyr Cove Lodge 20 years ago. He was a great man. My thoughts are with Marlu and the rest of the family.
I worked with him and for him over 21 years. He was a good man and a friend.
Bob will be missed. My heart felt condolences to Don, Marlu and all the Kimball family.
Marlu, you have lost your dearest friend and husband. I think often of our precious years in business together in the 70’s and I miss Bob’s big laugh and gentle guidance. Bob, know that you are not forgotten. Marlu, I am so sorry for your loss.
