April 22, 1942 - Dec. 19, 2022
KENOSHA - Walter "Wally" Simons, age 80, passed away on Monday, December 19, 2022 at Aurora Medical Center in Kenosha.
Born on April 22, 1942 in Kenosha, he was the son of the late George and Isabella (Krisor) Simons. He attended local schools and was a graduate of St. Joseph High School.
On September 2, 1961 he was united in marriage to Elfriede "Fredie" Ohm. Their union was blessed with 41 years of marriage before she preceded him in death in 2002.

He enjoyed fishing, walking, all sports, going to the casino and square dancing. He also enjoyed traveling to Germany, Las Vegas and to his home in Northern WI. He loved spending time with family and friends and was always available to help repair or build something.
