Kenneth C. Kuehn

Kenneth Charles Kuehn, 92, of Milwaukee, passed away peacefully Monday, September 8, 2025.

He was born on January 8, 1933, in Muskegon, Michigan to Herbert and Martha, née Werner, Kuehn. He married Priscilla Alden, née Merriam, on April 11, 1959 at Immanuel Presbyterian Church, Milwaukee, where he later served as deacon.

Beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and son, Ken was raised in Wisconsin. A Stoughton High School graduate, he earned a business degree from the University of Wisconsin, where he also met his wife of 66 years.

Ken served in the Army from 1953 until 1955 at Fort Lewis, Washington. Here, he participated in baseball, which he also played in high school. Ken later played softball on the Whitefish Bay Over 30 team and the Milprint team where he worked. Besides enjoying baseball, and the Badgers, Ken became a Marquette Golden Eagles basketball fan.

After college, Ken and Priscilla began their grand adventure. They moved to Whitefish Bay to raise their family and assorted pets, including cocker spaniels Punch and Bandit. Ken loved animals, especially dogs. When Punch passed, he swore the family would not adopt again. But when a puppy put his head down on Ken’s shoe, Bandit instantly joined the family.

One of Ken’s favorite places was Up North, especially Finley Lake in St. Germain. He passed on his love of the north woods to his children, and while he would claim you do not need to travel beyond Wisconsin, he explored six continents with his intrepid wife. Before traveling the world, Ken was a foreman and later supervisor of Jeep parts at AMC/Chrysler until retirement. Ken and Priscilla enjoyed cruising, most recently last December from Barcelona, Spain to Cape Town, South Africa. That would be his last cruise as Parkinson’s and Lewy Body Dementia was slowing him down.

Even though Ken suffered from two debilitating diseases, he retained his charm, sense of humor, unerring politeness, and kindness to the end. He also continued to enjoy his favorite music, Big Band and Reggae. If he could have selected a last song to hear, it would have been Benny Goodman’s “Sing, Sing, Sing.”

Besides his wife, Ken is survived by his children, Lawrence (Lorri) and Laura (Dean) Geroulis; three grandchildren, Andrew, Matthew, and Michelle; one great-grandchild, Nora; his brother, Harold, 99; a niece, three nephews; and cousins.

A private inurnment service will be held at Immanuel Presbyterian Church.

To honor Ken’s love of animals, donations may be made to the Wisconsin Humane Society.
