Weber, Kenneth A.
Kenneth A. Weber, age 72, of Menasha, passed away on Tuesday, April 8, 2008, with his dedicated family and friends at his side at St. Elizabeth Hospital. He was born on November 4, 1935, son of the late Louis and Elizabeth (Thuecks) Weber. Ken attended Appleton schools and graduated from Appleton West in 1954. He attended Milwaukee School of Engineering for two years. Ken was united in Holy Matrimony to Mary C. Schimek on September 12, 1959; together they raised five wonderful children: Tony, Linda, Paul, Scott, and Vicki. Ken and his family owned and operated Ken Weber Interiors, which was previously known as Heiman Furniture. Ken's life changed significantly in 1991 after the death of his son Paul at the young age of 27 due to brain cancer and his own open-heart surgery. He continued spending as much time with family as he could. They went on family vacations to Colorado, annual fishing trips to Canada, and especially loved the hunting trips with Lee Stevens and Tom Watry. They also hunted deer in "The Burg" Ogdensburg. Ken also went traveling abroad and went on cruises with friends where he had the opportunity to develop his skills of architecture and design. He had a wonderful gift of telling jokes and stories to anyone that would listen. His love and passion of photography was evident through endless family photo albums.
Ken is survived by his family, Mary C. Weber; his children: Tony (MaryLouise) Weber and their children: Tony Ray and Karly; Linda (Jim) Brown and their son Craig; Scott F. (Natalia) Weber; Vicki (Cornelius) Holt; and a special friend, Kathy; many pets; a brother, Victor (Julie) Weber; sisters-in-law: Carla (Chicky) Weber and Jane Weber; and many nieces, nephews; close friends: Dennis Schwersenska and Gary Wieden, with whom he looked forward to having his weekly lunches.
Ken was preceded in death by his son Paul; a sister and brother-in-law, Geraldine and Clem Wallace; a brother, Eugene Weber; and a sister, Audrey Weber.
For the past three years, Ken enjoyed living at Lakeside Commons in Menasha, where he was popular with the residents and will be greatly missed.
Funeral services will be held at 6 p.m. on Saturday, April 12, 2008, at Martens-Laemmrich Funeral Home, 312 Milwaukee Street, Menasha, with Deacon Jerry Cross officiating. Visitation will be held from 3 p.m. until the time of service at the funeral home. Interment will take place at St. Joseph Cemetery, Appleton. In lieu of flowers, a memorial will be established.
Ken's family wishes to thank his doctors and nurses for giving him a quality of life to the very end and with their dedication to health care for the living.
