William “Bill” John Lipetzky, Sr. passed away May 31, 2020 at Ave Maria Village. He was born on the home farm May 26, 1926 to John and Mary (Foy) Lipetzky.
Bill attended country school and Kensal High School. He enlisted in the US Navy on November 22, 1943 and received his training at Lake Union, Seattle. Bill shipped out from Treasure Island, San Francisco on the USS Uvalde as an electrician’s mate. It was at this time he was notified that his brother, Cletus, was missing in action. After his discharge May 3, 1946, Bill returned to Kensal and began farming.
Bill enjoyed going to dances which is where he met and later married Norma Spitzer June 21, 1947. They continued to farm. In later years, they traveled and spent winters in Mesa, AZ. Golfing became a passion there.
