Bob Kimball took life in his hands and squeezed all the juice out of it that he could.
Long known in Janesville as a builder, doer of good works and enthusiastic advocate for downtown Janesville, Kimball also found time to travel the world and show it to his children, make gifts with his hands, and go on adventures.
Kimball died Monday at age 88 at Hospice of Palm Beach County in Florida, near the home where he and his wife of 57 years spent parts of their winters.
Kimball was a farm boy from rural Janesville who graduated from UW-Madison, served in the Army and came home to start a construction business. He borrowed $850 from a professor in 1958 and soon was pouring concrete for sidewalks and house foundations.
