He is also pictured in the picture to the right, many many years later. |  John N Heinen (the 2nd). He branched out from the Rogers location his father started and was awarded the International tractor brand for the Osseo location. John passed away from a heart attack at 66 years of age, September 17th,1966 just a few blocks away from his store in Osseo, and only a week from retirement. This picture was taken in 1954 on the showroom floor that is still being used today. |  John N Heinen (the 3rd) took over the business in 1966 after his father died. He took on Polaris snowmobiles as a fun thing to do in the winter when the farming was slow. Snowmobiles quickly became his passion. He retired in 1994 to what he refers to as "God's country" in Outing Mn. He just celebrated his 74th birthday. He puts on about 300 miles a year driving his Yamaha Grizzly around the northern woods! |
