Wienkes, Duane J. "Pinski"

Duane J. "Pinski" Wienkes, age 61 of Highland, passed away unexpectedly at home on January 14, 2024. Duane was born on January 31, 1962, in Dodgeville to Raymond and Margaret (Hasburgh) Wienkes. He grew up on the family farm in Highland and graduated from Highland High School in 1980. One of the coolest things he did in high school was play with the band at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, TX—incidentally, it was also one of the few times he ever left the state of Wisconsin.
