The unexpected
passing of Randall «Randy» James Kimm, of Fredericton,
occurred on June 8, 2021, at home with his wife by his
side.
Randy was born in
Winnipeg, Manitoba, the son of the late J.J. Kimm and Rachel (James)
Kimm. He was Baptist by faith, graduated from University of New
Brunswick in Fredericton with a B.A. and master’s degree in
economics. He held various positions with CIBC in Toronto and set up a
call center system for CHIMO several years
ago.
He had a passion
for flying aircraft in his younger years. He flew a wide range of
aircraft, including spray planes and C-130 Hercules military transport
aircraft. He also piloted planes for one of our NB Premiers. Flying
was his greatest joy. He was a member of the Armed Forces Reserve and
was stationed at Canadian Forces Base Greenwood in Nova Scotia for a
time.
He is survived by
his wife Gail, stepson Jeff (Jody) King, and grandson Sawyer from
Fredericton whom he loved dearly, and with whom he shared his love of
fossils. He is also survived by his sister-in-law Dr. Carol Dingee,
his brother-in-law Ron Kolody and niece Lara Kolody of Vancouver, BC,
who had a special place in his heart and loved her dearly. Also
survived by extended family and cousins in Alberta. Special thanks to
Dr. Reverend Karl Csaszar, a true and caring friend, and a source of
strength for Randy.
There will be no
service, as per Randy’s wishes. Bishop’s Funeral
Home have arranged cremation. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the
Fredericton S.P.C.A. or the Student Hunger Program partnered with the
Fredericton Community Kitchen is welcomed.
