William "Bill" Kienitz, 60, Osakis, died May 11, 2010 in Yuma, Arizona, surrounded by his three daughters.
Bill was born February 23, 1950 in Robbinsdale to Marvin and Lorraine (Knoll) Kienitz. He grew up in Robbinsdale and then moved to the Osakis area after he met and married Jeanne DeCann in November 1972. They lived in Glenwood for a time and then north of Alexandria, then lived in Miltona where he owned a gas station for a couple of years, before moving again to a home in Osakis.
Bill worked for the Coca-Cola plant in Alexandria. He was then hired by the 3M company in Alexandria and worked there for many years. The last few winters he had been traveling to Arizona, spending most of the time near Yuma. Bill was a former member of the Glenwood Jaycees. Bill loved horses and riding and participating in area rodeos. He was a good cook who also enjoyed working with his flowers, especially his rose bushes. Most importantly, Bill was a loving grandpa who enjoyed being with his grandkids. He had a special bond with his granddaughter, Kaylynn, whom he helped raise for a couple of years. Bill loved music, especially classic rock and traditional country. In the summertime he liked to go fishing and attend flea markers. Blessed be his memory.
He is survived by his daughters, Becky Anderson of Alexandria, Jessica (Edward) Yurczyk of Melrose and Heidi Kienitz of Alexandria; eight grandchildren; mother, Lorraine Kienitz of Robbinsdale; brothers, James (Judy) Kienitz of St. Michael and Patrick (Mary) Kienitz of Crystal. He was preceded in death by his father, Marvin Kienitz; his grandparents; and his former wife, Jeanne (DeCann) Kienitz.
A memorial service was held for Bill May 19 at Roy-Hetland funeral Home Chapel in Osakis with Chaplain Greg Odell officiating. Honorary pallbearers were his eight grandchildren. Arrangements are with Roy-Hetland Funeral Home in Osakis.
