Just happened to come across this obit one day when I plugged Joe's name into the internet. I saw John a couple of times at their family residence in Winnipeg. Joe and I were teenagers at the time. Although I didn't know John all that well I'm sorry to read of his passing. My belated condolences to his family. - Posted by: elmer muench (Long ago friend of Joe Kimpinski) on: Jun 10, 2020

We certainly have many happy memories of time spent with the Kimpinski Family - whether at Kildonan Park and our Sunday picnics, our family reunions or your visits to Winnipeg. Rest in peace Uncle John. Love From Darlene, Wolf and Family - Posted by: Darlene and Wolf Boehm (Neice and Nephew in Law) on: Feb 10, 2018
