Earle Richard Kinsman was born May 20, 1931 in Watertown South Dakota to Orville and Inez (Thoe) Kinsman. He graduated from Watertown High School in 1949 and from the University of South Dakota in 1953. He served in the United States Army and U. S. Army Reserve from 1953 until his honorable discharge as a 1st Lieutenant in 1962. Earle began his business career in 1958, starting Kinsman Insurance Agency, a business he continued to operate well into his later years along with his daughter, Laurie. He was a Chartered Life Underwriter and was sought out as a trusted business and financial advisor throughout the region. He served on the boards of the Watertown Area Community Foundation and the Watertown Area Chamber of Commerce and was involved in many other civic and service organizations throughout his life. In 1953, he married Constance Ruth Brown, his wife of 53 years until she passed away in 2006. They were blessed with six children. Earle’s greatest joys revolved around his family and faith. Earle had many interests and activities and he used them as a way to connect with those he held dear. Hunting, fishing, golfing and spending winters in Palm Springs were among his favorites. Earle was a member of Holy Name Parish and served as a Eucharist minister and lector for many years. He celebrated his Catholic faith with an annual retreat to the Jesuit Retreat House in Demontreville, MN, starting that tradition with his father-in-law, Russ Brown and continuing it with his son and grandson. In 2008, Earle married the second love of his life, Polly Loken. They brought each other many years of joy and companionship. Earle is survived by his wife of 8 years, Polly; his children: Kitty Kinsman (Steve Zellmer), Rapid City; Laurie Benson, Watertown SD; David (Dawn) Kinsman, Cedarburg WI; Sarah (Michael) Welch, Rochester MN; Anne Kinsman (Morgan Fudge) Hudson WI; Earle and Connie’s wonderful helper and friend, Dorothy Cypher Stewart; thirteen grandchildren: Matthew Benson, Sarah Benson, Jason Kinsman, Cassie (Kinsman) Deffenbaugh; Joshua, Jon, Zachary, Nathan, and Ben Kinsman; and Anna, Josef, Jakob, and Ben Welch; four great grandchildren and numerous extended family and friends.
