Richard (Dick) Kimball, Age 90, of Ann Arbor, Michigan, passed away on April 25, 2026. leaving behind a remarkable legacy of passion, mentorship, and lifelong dedication to sport, family, and community.
In late July, the University of Michigan community suffered a tremendous loss with the passing of former men’s golf coach Jim Carras. Serving as head coach of the program for twenty years, Coach Carras led his players to win seventeen individual titles and eight team titles, including multiple top-six finishes at the Big Ten Championships. Coach Carras did more than lead his teams to victory. He was a welcoming face on campus and the biggest supporter of his players both on and off the fairway. He was credited for having a smile and laugh that could light up a room, and was known by his team not just as a coach, but as a friend.
