Lynn G. Hinze, 77, of Janesville, WI passed away at his home on Wednesday, October 20, 2010 surrounded by his family following a valiant battle with cancer and the complications of a stroke. Lynn was born on October 9, 1933 in Denver, CO, the son of William and Mildred Howard Hinze. He graduated from Orange City, Iowa High School and attended Northwestern Iowa University. He entered the U. S. Air Force on February 1, 1953 and served until January 2, 1957. He was stationed in Canada with the 755^th AC&WRON in radar ground control of flyers during the Korean War.

He had a passion for buying and developing wooded properties “up north.” He retired from Shorewest Realty.
