Ronald W. Kimball

Ronald Wayne Kimball, M.D., 75, of Flourtown, Pennsylvania and Naples, Florida, passed away on Wednesday, September 28, 2022, after a long illness. Born on May 26, 1947, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Ron was the only child of the late Harold and Edna Kimball and lived the majority of his life in the Philadelphia area. He attended John Bartram High School, graduating as Valedictorian of his class, and completed his undergraduate education at Muhlenberg College. Ron received his medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania where he was a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society. He went on to complete a Residency in Ophthalmology at the Scheie Eye Institute in Philadelphia. Ron practiced Ophthalmology for 33 years, hanging his shingle in his childhood neighborhood of Southwest Philadelphia and performing surgery at the Wills Eye Hospital, Graduate Hospital and Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital. He was dedicated to his profession and was especially proud of his efforts teaching residents and building lifelong relationships with his patients. After his retirement, Ron and his wife, Janet, relocated to Naples, Florida. An avid fan of the Philadelphia Phillies, Ron also enjoyed golf and bass fishing. He was passionate about science, medicine, astronomy, art, and all forms of comedy - his dry wit never failed to keep everyone guessing. However, Ron's most abounding love was for his family and his greatest sense of pride was undoubtedly his children. Ron enjoyed planning annual family vacations throughout the years, traveling across the country and abroad. Regardless of the destination, Ron could always be found with a camera around his neck, documenting countless, and now especially cherished, memories. Ron is survived by his devoted wife of 41 years, Janet (nee Andrew), daughter, Victoria (Tyler) Wallen, and son Kristopher (Brittany) Kimball; and two grandsons, Luke and James Wallen. To honor Ron's memory, a celebration of life will be held at 3:00 P.M. on Saturday December 17, 2022 at Audubon Country Club.
