Growing up on Cook St was loads of fun! Huge Catholic neighborhood with endless kids at each address. Playing games of "Kick the Can", riding our bikes to McCarron's Beach, playing baseball on Mr. Benson's empty lot....So many years since I have even thought about this! Haven't seen Kenny or Karen since high school graduation in 1976. So sorry to hear of Kenny's death. May your wonderful memories outweigh your deep sadness in the days ahead. Prayers to all.

To Wildenauer family and friends: So sorry to hear the sad news. I was in the Navy with Ken on the USS Vulcan in the late 70's to early 80's. He was always a great guy and I'm sure he will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. Regards. Don Hershey from Allentown, PA and from his shipmates on the USS Vulcan (AR-5)...RIP Ken

I remember Kenny as always having a smile on his face. No matter how long it had been since we saw each other, it was always effortless to have a conversation to catch up. He had a lot of mannerisms and personality like his dad. Fun and easy going are words to describe him! I will miss him! I know his mom, dad and sister are embracing him with love and that he is watching over his family and children.

Love you Cousin!

My husband worked with Ken for many years and always thought he was a great guy. I will never forget when he graciously offered up his lake home to us for our honeymoon when our plans had to suddenly change. We are so sorry for your loss and you are in our family's thoughts and prayers. Leif

My deepest sympathy and prayers pour out to Mary Clare, Matt, Annie, Elaine, Marie and Karen.
Kenny was more than a cousin to me. Kenny was one of my best friends when we were growing up from rugrats to respectable Husbands and Fathers. Kenny was always full of adventure and vitality.
I remember once when Kenny, my brother Glen and I rode our bikes to Como Lake where Kenny found a small snapping turtle and decided to bring it home. Having only two bikes among the three of us Kenny rode on the back of Glen's bike with his little snapping turtle in his hands, hearing some commotion coming from behind me, I looked back and what did I see? Kenny's turtle had taken a big bite into Glen's back. We all finely made it back to my aunt and uncle's house on Cook Avenue minus one shirt. My deepest sympathy. Gordy Gagnon

Mary, I remember the last time Kenny and I spent a day alone together and going across the new Stillwater bridge and posting a pic laughing if you knew where we were. We then went to a local tavern and it was so dark and I was looking all over for Kenny. He busted out laughing because he was right in front of me. Hugs to all of you and I pray for strength and peace for you and the kids. Love ya!
