Kenny loved shooting birds, deer hunting and skeet shooting. He and Joanie own a hobby farm in the Town of Easton where they enjoyed making hay, raising cattle, pigs, chickens, and ducks. The farm was Kenny's passion. He never missed taking his daily four mile walk. Kenny liked watching Star Trek, Oak Island and Hee Haw on Sunday nights, eating Mexican food and reading. Kenny's biggest pride and joy was the time spent with Wally, playing computer games and ATVing with him, and teaching him "the farm life". Raising Greg and Dan into the men they are today, whether working on the farm, doing building or electrical projects, was one of Kenny's greatest satisfactions. Vicki was "daddy's girl."Funeral Mass will be held at 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday February 7, 2017 at St. Anne's Catholic Church, 700 West Bridge Street, Wausau.
