Kenneth J. WEISLAK

WEISLAK Kenneth J. Kenneth J. Weislak, age 63, of Perrysburg, passed away unexpectedly on Monday afternoon, October 4, 2010, while running at Side Cut Metro Park. Ken was a devoted and high spirited family man and tireless hard worker who was proud to have built 4 houses from the ground up for his family. Kenny's magnetic personality and open, unpretentious demeanor blessed him with innumerable friendships which he relished especially his lifelong grade school buddies he grew up with in North Toledo. Ken was a true people person who found the good in everyone. He loved to be around people and where the action was. He loved meeting new people and getting to know them over cups and cups of coffee. He could (and did!) talk to anyone and everyone and found it easy to make new friends. Kenny was a Journeyman Union Carpenter with Local 1138 for more than 30 years. After retiring as a carpenter in 1996, he became a building inspector for Wood County where he was currently employed. He is preceded in death by his parents, mother, Helen (Horen) Weislak-Bollinger, father, Chester Weislak; step-father, Delmer Bollinger and special mother-in-law, Theresa Bonk. Kenny is survived by his cherished wife of 40 years, Joanne; his son and best friend, Lance of San Francisco; and daughter, Dr. Lisa Burke (Hal) of Sylvania and his two grandsons, Jack and Ben. He is also survived by his siblings, Jim Weislak (Ruth), Caroline (Richard) Flaczynski, Marty (Jennie) Weislak and Joy (Jim) Wozniak and his special brother-in-law, Dennis (Beth) Bonk, Dan Bonk and many special nieces and nephews, Julia, Jimmy, Julie, Chris, Michelle, Devin and Robert. He was a member of the River View Yacht Club in Toledo and Blessed John XXIII Parish in Perrysburg. Ken was proud to be an alumnus of Woodward High School, Class of 1965. He was an avid Michigan football fan and season ticketholder. He enjoyed exercising in the metro park, his music on his iPod, classic cars, woodworking and being the comic foil to his grandson's antics. We'll greatly miss you Kenny and your fun-loving spirit.
