Bill Wollin, age 68, of Le Sueur, formerly of New Prague, died peacefully surrounded by his family on Sunday, October 16, 2016, at his home after an extended illness. Bill was born on April 1, 1948 in Alexandria, MN to Howard S. and Pauline C. (Lucas) Wollin and attended Alexandria Public Schools. On March 8, 1967, Bill married Kay L. Olson in Watertown, SD. The couple spent the majority of their life in New Prague, where they raised their 3 sons and finally moved to Le Sueur about 10 years ago. Bill worked as a maintenance mechanic, retiring from Lockheed Martin. He is a past Union President of IBEW and was very proud of his work as an EMT for Montgomery Ambulance. Bill was an avid outdoorsman; he particularly enjoyed hunting, fishing, boating, and motorcycling. Family was his first priority; he was never happier than when spending time with his wife of nearly 50 years, his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

It is reatly hard to say I have adjusted, but seriously never goes away. Love him till the day I die!
Kay and family: My thoughts are with you- I’m so very sorry to just now read that you lost Bill nearly four years ago already. You two were meant to be together forever.
I’m sorry I wasn’t there for you, to console you, to just be there for you.
I miss you terribly…even still now my best childhood friend.
Peace be with you.
Bonnie and Jan
