Richard A. Kimball Jr., of Lincoln, Massachusetts and Leadbetter Island, Maine, formerly of New York, died on April 15 in Massachusetts. He was 85. The cause was Parkinson’s disease, his family said.

After graduating from Brooks School and Yale University, he served in the U.S. Army for the 82nd Airborne before attending Yale Law School. He practiced law in New York as a partner of Hughes, Hubbard and Reed. An ardent Whiffenpoof, an a capella group at Yale, he was also passionate about Land Conservation, serving for years on the Board of the Dutchess Land Conservancy in Millbrook, NY, where he retired. He is survived by his wife, Hopeton, three children, George Kimball, Sam Kimball and Sylvia Kimball Perry, and eight grand children. Burial will be private.
