Sending my deepest condolences to Jack's Family. I met Jack and Sally briefly several years back while attending UW-Platteville's Distinguished Lecture where Robert Kennedy Jr. spoke. Jack was so proud to be able to meet with Robert and share a special photo he kept of Robert's father. A moment that stuck with me to this day! Rest in peace Jack.

Sally, Jo Ellen & family,
Sorry to hear about Jack. I fondly remember singing in the church choir with Jack. And, as church usher too. Sometimes even at the same mass. Smile.
I'll be thinking about all of you this weekend.
Take care,
Mark Schwingle

I had the pleasure of working with Jack and Sally for 10 years with their crop insurance. A more dedicated individual and couple you could not find anywhere. Dedicated to each other, the farm, agriculture, youth, the community, and southwest Wisconsin. It is individuals like Jack that made me proud to be part of agriculture. He represented all that is good about rural America. Character, integrity, compassion are just some of the words that come to mind when I think of Jack. My condolences to the Kinney family, and know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. May God bless

Our sympathies go out to the Kinney family! I grew up on the old Boak farm owned by my grandfather Chris Goplen. My parents rented and we went to Tavera grade school and have fond memories of the Kinsey's.
Again sorry for the loss of nice man.

My sincere sympathy to Sally and all the members of Jack Kinney's family. He was fine man, a gentleman, and a good citizen. I know that he will be missed not only by his family, but by the whole community who knew him so well. May all of your wonderful memories be a great comfort to each of you.
