LIME RIDGE - Philip C. Kinsman, age 93, of Lime Ridge, WI, passed away peacefully at home on Thursday, April 28, 2022, surrounded by his family. He was born on April 26, 1929 in Lime Ridge, the son of Glenn B. and OTillia (Milfred) Kinsman.
Phil was a graduate of Lime Ridge High School. On June 9, 1956, he was united in marriage to Mary Lou Seep at St. Anthony's Catholic Church in Germantown. Phil was a member of St. Boniface Catholic Church, served on the Parish Council, and also served on the board for Farm Credit for many years. Phil was truly a jack of all trades and wore many hats throughout his life. He farmed with his wife, father and son for many years as well as running a successful electrical and plumbing business on the side. He was a Master Plumber and Electrician, farmer and entrepreneur of many things, but the job he loved the most was being a husband, father to his 10 children and grandfather to the many grandchildren.
He loved spending time with his family, hunting, fishing (anything outdoors), and was an avid reader of Louis L'Amour books. In his later years, Phil and Mary Lou would spend hours in his shop woodworking and creating keepsakes for the family. Not only was he a family man but was a friend to many, making a profound impact on those around him. He was truly blessed to spend 93 years with those that loved him. His contagious smile and witty sense of humor will be missed.
He was preceded in death by his parents; son-in-law, Clarence Jenkins; siblings: Evelyn Collins, Dorothy Beck, John Kinsman, and Marian Engerman, and in laws Phillip and William Seep, Francis Mueller, Mary and Almira Seep.
