It is with great sadness that Ministry and Professional Leadership informs
you of the death of the Reverend Richard G. Kimball.  He died Saturday, June
23, 2007 at the age of 72.

 

Reverend Kimball was born August 18, 1934. He received a Bachelor of Arts
from Tufts University, a Master of Divinity from Harvard Divinity School and
a Master of Education from Boston University.

 

Mr. Kimball was fellowshipped in May 1959, and ordained in June 1959 at the
Unitarian Universalist Church in Fitchburg, Massachusetts.  He served
congregations in Hingham, Westborough, Somerville, Billerica, Fitchburg,
Woburn, Boston, West Roxbury and Essex, all in Massachusetts.  He also
served the Stockport Unitarian Church in Stockport, England from 1960 to
1961. He was named Minister Emeritus by Theodore Parker UU Church in West
Roxbury in 1985 and by the First Universalist Church of Essex in 2004. 

 

Active in both denominational and community affairs, he was a member of the
Unitarian Universalist Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Concerns
Committee, the Religious Arts Guild, the Interfaith Committee, the Visiting
Nurses Association, the Aids Action Committee and many other social service
organizations.  A gifted teacher, he was an instructor of Psychology at
Bunker Hill Community College, Mass. Bay Community College, Newbury College
