Bart Edward Kimmey was born on September 14, 1945, and passed from this life on November 26, 2022. He was a wonderful family man and a great provider who will long be remembered by those who loved him dearly: his wife of 53 years, Linda Rhoden Kimmey; his daughter, Tara Jean Kimmey; his grandchildren, Samantha, Savannah, and Robert Washington, Jr.; his great-granddaughter, Nevaeh Snead; his brother, Alan Kimmey; his nephews, Richard Hopson, Daniel Hopson (Lolita), and Gregory Abair; his niece, Cynthia Abair; his great-nephews, Christopher Abair and Jedidiah, Jeshua, and Jessie Hopson; and his great-niece, Karlea Abair. He was predeceased by his daughter, Dawn Marie Kimmey; his mother and stepfather, Mary Elizabeth Murphy Rosenberger and Fred Rosenberger; and his sister, Gail Abair. Bart was very patriotic and loved being a citizen of what he considered the world's greatest nation. He was proud to be a military veteran, having been a member of the United States Air Force from 1966-1970. He considered it not only a duty and a privilege but also an honor to be able to serve his country. Bart enjoyed life. His very real claim to fame was being a professional bowler on the PBA tour. He actually bowled a game with a perfect score of 300 and a set with a score of 807. He was a jokester with a laid back attitude who was always looking for an opportunity to give advice about life in general. He was artistic and used his ability and talent in his career as a sign painter. All of his work was done by hand including some hand painted gold leaf. Bart loved listening to music from the 60s and 70s. The songs of Elvis, Neil Diamond, The Beach Boys and others of that era were always being played. He enjoyed watching all kinds of sports on television, but his favorite teams were the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Syracuse Orange. His special little pal was a cat named Bree. Memorial contributions may be made to any local animal shelter, or any local veteran's organization. No services are planned at this time. Moffitt Family Funeral Care is honored to serve Bart's family.
