KIMBALL - PHILIP E. - Fairfield

FAIRFIELD - Philip E. Kimball - Heaven was blessed with another beautiful angel. Phil lost his 12-year battle with cancer on May 15, 2014, with his loving family by his side.
He was born April 20, 1947, in Dover-Foxcroft, the son of the late Etta (Woodard) Leavitt and the late Leslie Kimball.
Phil graduated from Lawrence High School in 1966. He married the love of his life, Yvonne Quimby, on Sept. 23, 1967. They lived for many years in the town of Albion, where they raised their three beautiful children. Phil was self employed for many years, and retired from the town of Fairfield in 2004.
The most important thing in Phil's life was his family. He spent many hours with his family working on the race cars and cheering on the grandkids on race night. He also spent many hours working on the tractors for the tractor pulls with his sons and grandsons. In his free time, Phil enjoyed woodworking, making many gifts for family and friends.
Phil was predeceased by his parents; his stepfather, Thomas Leavitt; his brothers, Paul and Al Kimball; his sister, Maxine LeBlanc; and his nephew, Michael "Turkey" Hamlin.
He is survived by his wife, Yvonne; their children, Jeff and his wife, Kim, and their children Shelby and Matt, Laura and her children, Sara and Colby, and Tony and his wife, Michelle, and their children, Travis and Tyler. Phil is also survived by his sister and "brother," Carlene and Mack Hamlin; his brother, Tom Leavitt, and his wife, Peg; brother-in-law Marc LeBlanc; sister-in-law Murlene Kimball; his aunt and uncle, Marion and Stanley Brown; and his son-in-law, Larry Davis. He was also loved by many nieces, nephews, cousins and special friends.
As Phil would say "Everything will be all right."
