Todd James Puhek, 69, of
Kansasville, Wisconsin, died in his home of natural causes on February 10, 2023. Born in Milwaukee, in 1953, to Madelyne and Jim (Bernard) Puhek, and where his passion for music was sparked with the Christmas gift of an acoustic guitar. As a teenager, he learned to play the baritone and trumpet in junior high and high school bands; and later studied classical guitar formally, a pursuit that deeply enriched his life. But, 'Uncle' Todd also loved great rock 'n roll and truly enjoyed jamming on his guitar with the young sons of long-time, music-loving friends.
Preceded in death by his beloved parents, he is survived by his sister Glenda, and many relatives, neighbors, and friends, who will miss his kindness, creativity, and excellent sense of humor. In Milwaukee, he worked as a draftsman for Koehring Company and later for Krones Inc., Franklin, in the shipping department. He was very proud to have volunteered with the Kansasville Fire Department.
