Obituary

Jeffrey Plinski, age 56, of Spearfish, South Dakota, suffered a fatal heart attack, on Monday, June 13, 2011, while pursuing a hobby of bird-watching near Lookout Mountain in Spearfish, South Dakota.

Jeff was born to David Francis Plinski and Marie Agnes Plinski (Blaskowski), in Deadwood, SD on August 13, 1954. Jeff grew up in Lead, SD where he attended local schools until 1968 when the family moved to Lodi, California.

In Lodi, Jeff continued his education and graduated from Lodi Union High School in 1972. Over the next several years, Jeff pursued his interest in sports and travel and spent two years living and working in Waverly, New York for Leprino Foods.

In 1984, they were blessed with another son, David, who resides in Spearfish today. In 1992, the family was befallen with the unexpected passing of Vicki who suffered a heart attack on December 13th of that year.
