Robert (Rob)'s obituary

Robert F. Kimpel Jr., 77, of La Verne, California, passed away on December 18, 2020 after complications from diabetes.

Rob was born on January 21, 1943 to Robert and Julia (Mohler) Kimpel in Southold, New York. After graduating from Azusa High School in 1961, he went on to study engineering at Citrus College and work in the radio and television industry. Rob could almost always be found tinkering or taking things apart to understand how they worked. He was passionate about trains and Lake Havasu and made many family memories flying across the water on his boat.


He is survived by his wife Judi, sons Douglas and Robert (Claire), and daughters Kristin and Victoria (Mike). In addition, he was Papa to Grace, Emma, Abigail, Jackson, Grant, Chloe and Caden.
