Kenny was my God son and I loved him very much. The last time I visited my sister (his mother)he came over to the house and played his guitar and sang songs for us.
I will miss him very much.
Love,
Auntie Alice

I remember Kenny -
The two of us hanging out at your house, bike riding everywhere, playing baseball, family picnics at Lincoln Part, the drum set, planning out "Scary Rides" in the basement, the "kid's table" for meals. And all the good times.
Your cousin,
Linda

There are no words that can fill the emptiness in your heart, but perhaps it will help to know others care.
Sorry to hear about Ken. My prayers are with you.

Ken served in Vietnam (Infantry), came home & started up a band, practiced in the basement, garage, etc.
He was an excellent guitar player and singer and played CYO dances and then clubs with good friends all across these northern states.
He was a good friend and could argue sports with the best.
HE AIN'T HEAVY, HE'S MY BROTHER

My brother in law was a smart, funny guy who lived his life with dignity and humility.
A bit of a loner at times, but fun when he visited his brother and I, he had a sharp wit and we had many good times.
He was extremely close to his mother and they spent alot of time together. He would bring his guitar over and play songs for her and he added alot of joy to her life.
Thank you Ken for your honesty, integrity and your gift of just being yourself with no pretense.
You will be missed by your entire family and all of your friends.

Ken was my former brother-in-law, the uncle of my children, and an old friend. Although I have not had the opportunity to see him in some time, I have fond memories of him as a sweet and fun-loving husband to my girlhood friend, as a devoted father to my niece, and as a kind and laughing uncle to my children. I am blessed, for I shall always remember him as young -- a music loving, somewhat arrogant young man whose head and heart were always lost in song. Many times when we were young, especially when Ron was away in the Army, Ken would call me at all times of the day or night and say "You've got to hear this!" and play a song -- often it was Hendrix or the Rolling Stones or Clapton. Once in a while he'd play it himself. He was happiest with his music . . . and with his little girl.
Many blessings to Dorothy, Ron & Donna, and Adrianna.

Sincere condolences to the Wahl family. I knew Ken through Donna & Ron. Although I didn't know him well I do remember hearing him play and noticed how much he enjoyed performing. Gratitude for your service to our country Ken.
Ken - far right with brother & sister-in-law

While my Uncle Ken was a private man who would have not wanted a funeral, my heart longs for a way to honor his life. He was a smart and handsome man with a love for music. He served our Country in Vietnam. He was a talented musician. He was an employee at A O Smith in Milwaukee for over thirty years. He was a son, a father, a brother, an uncle and a friend. And while I am comforted knowing that his suffering is over, I am sad that he is gone and that there will be no new memories.
