Ken had a love for the outdoors being a "North Woods kind of guy." He enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping, bowling and gardening (hating chipmunks, rabbits and squirrels). He also enjoyed a good Manhattan and looked forward to sitting around the campfire saying "It doesn't get any better than this!" Ken always had a secret stash of goodies that he enjoyed eating at night.

He will be dearly missed by his wife of 63 years, Judith; their children: Peter (Georgianne) Liesch, Terri (Troy) Kasten, Jan (Perry) Alger, Cheryl (Steve) Holcombe, Kris (special friend, Tony Ciske) Kreutzberg; 11 grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren, and many other relatives and friends.

Visitation will be held from 9:00 a.m. until the hour of the service at the church. Burial will be in the Laona Cemetery in Laona, WI. In lieu of flowers, a memorial will be established for St. Joseph Food Pantry or the Salvation Army.
