Carl W. Kinman, age 90, went home to be with the Lord on November 5, 2021. He was born on December 26, 1930 to the late Marie and Carl E. Kinman in Omaha, Nebraska.

He was a veteran of the US Marine Corps. He graduated from West High School in 1949 and attended The Ohio State University. He was in sales for Graybar Electric, General Foods, and F.W.
