Francis Kimball Obituary
October 20, 1922 - December 28, 2016
Warner Robins, GA- Francis "Frank" R. Kimball passed away on December 28, 2016. He was born in North Berwick, Maine on October 20, 1922, to Elmer and Lillian Kimball, but spent his childhood years in Amesbury, Massachusetts. He married Marjorie A. Cole on May 4, 1946. They lived together in Springfield, Massachusetts for 54 years; after Marjorie's passing Frank moved to Warner Robins, Georgia. He was preceded in death by his wife, Marjorie (Cole), his sisters, Doris (Spinner) and Muriel (Corrigan), and brother, Wilbur. He is survived by his sons, Alan (Phyllis) and Douglas (Catherine), grandchildren Alex, Michael and Bradley, and great grandsons, Aiden, Jace and Austin, as well as by several nephews and nieces. Frank served in the United States Army during World War II in the 96th Signal Battalion in the China-Burma-India Theater from January 1942 to December 1945, rising to the rank Master Sergeant. Frank graduated from Amesbury High School, Bryant and Stratton Business School, and Boston University. While at Boston University he became a member of Beta Gamma Sigma Honor Society. He went to work at Monarch Life Insurance Company in 1949 as an accountant and retired in 1983 having served as a vice president and a member of the Board Directors. He was an active participant in his sons' Boy Scout Troop in Springfield, Massachusetts (Troop 173) and his grandsons' troop in Warner Robins, Georgia (Troop 566). He was as long-time volunteer with the Massachusetts Red Cross Governing Committee and the Massachusetts Audubon Society. In his spare time, and especially during his retirement years, Frank enjoyed spending time with his family, visiting areas of natural beauty, and photographing wildlife (especially birds, wildflowers and insects).
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the "Massachusetts Audubon Society" in care of Board Meadow Brook Wildlife Sanctuary, 414 Massasoit Road, Worcester, MA 01604.
