Kim H. Kisiel, 64 of Batavia passed away on Thursday, December 19, 2019. He was born on October 21, 1955 in Batavia to Henry Kisiel of Batavia and the late Lois (Quartley) Kisiel.
Kim dedicated himself to the family business Pinnacle Manufacturing Company, for over 40 years as President. He was well respected for his dedication and commitment to the company’s business relationships.
Kim was an incredibly intelligent man and was known for his great sense of humor. His passion for flying began at an early age and went on to become a skilled pilot. He was an avid piano player and enjoyed golfing, fishing, and snowmobiling in his free time. Kim was also an immense NASCAR fan and attended races yearly. Mr. Kisiel was known for his popular quote of him “getting better looking every day”. Kim was beloved by so many people.
He spent the last 21 years with the love of his life Katy Call. They spent most of their time on Conesus Lake enjoying time with family and friends. They were loved, and respected in the community. They had an open-door policy where all were welcome. Anyone who stopped in would be greeted with a warm welcome. Kim was a man of few words. However, when he spoke, especially from his heart everyone in his presence would stop and listen. He was a humble man that surprised people with his intelligence, mathematical, and scientific skills. Kim would give the shirt off of his back or the last dollar out of his pocket for anyone who needed it. His absolute pride and joy was his family, especially Katy, his 3 children and 2 grandchildren who lit up his life.
He is survived by his beloved wife; Katy Call of Batavia; daughter Cortney (Benjamin) Lundberg of Phoenix, AZ, sons Michael Kisiel, and Daniel Kisiel both of Rochester; sister Diane (Hiram) Kastenbaum of Batavia; brother Kevin Kisiel of Batavia; 2 grandchildren Kennedy and Bryce Lundberg, along with several nieces and nephews.
