John will be missed by so many. I am great friends with one of his daughters, Kitty. She was his biggest fan and has many of his great qualities. Rest in peace.

John was a great neighbor and we looked forward to having him drop in occasionally, as well as visiting him at his home.
His daughters were his pride and his grandchildren his greatest joy.
We will miss him.

Kevin, and the entire Kimber family; Thank you Kevin for driving by our house, and in person - informing my brother, John, the sad news of John's passing this life. The last time I saw your brother - he really looked great, and to be frank - I thought that he would be the last person to leave this life so soon. Certainly, he will rest in peace because he was a good man who cared about his friends, family, and relatives. My deepest sympathy in this time of sorrow.

Sorry to hear about John. He was always a good guy to be with. I once swapped him a gun for a boat and we were both happy. Again sorry for your loss, he will be missed.
