Christopher Lehmkuhl Obituary

Lehmkuhl, Christopher M. Age 55 of West Bend, formerly of the Milwaukee area. March 20, 2014. Loving father of Michelle (Junior)Valdez, Jennifer Lehmkuhl and Paul Huebschmann. Further survived by 3 grandchildren, his parents Paul and Barbara (Nee Pabelick), 2 brothers David (Cheryl) and Stephen (Susan), 1 sister Paula Lehmkuhl, an uncle Barney Brumm, other relatives and many friends. He was preceded in death by 1 brother Scott. Memorial services Friday, March 28 at 7PM at the funeral home. The family will greet relatives and friends at the funeral home on Friday from 5 until 6:45PM. The family has requested memorials to the American Red Cross or Milwaukee Public Television. For a number of years Chris was employed at Rockwell Automation where he was more than an employee but made many lasting friendships. Throughout his life Chris had a passion for making music and sharing with whom-ever would listen. He barely went anywhere with out his guitar and would entertain on the streets during Al's Run, at the local tavern, during the Company picnic or around a campfire at the annual Big Falls trip.

I have many memories of Chris chasing me around the block, thru Jefferson playground, and around the phone company, in one of a thousand games of "ditch" we all used to play as kids. Since Chris was a few years older than me, I could usually squeeze thru the fence by Danny Fay's house and reach the safety spot by the principal's window before he caught up with me! Kick the can, hanging out at the playground during the summers, skating at Jacobus Park... Chris was a part of my childhood. Condolences to all the Lehmkuhl's I know from that time, and to those I have not had the pleasure of meeting.
