Kenneth “Ken” Wunsch,

Of Port Washington, peacefully passed away on November 24, 2025, at the age of 90. Ken was born on May 12, 1935, on Mother’s Day, to his late parents, Elmer Francis and Louise Theresa (nee Pankratz) Wunsch in Rozellville, WI. He was united in marriage to his late wife, Leah Flynn on September 17, 1955, and together, in their 68 years of marriage, they were blessed with five daughters.

Ken had a great love for sports, particularly for the Milwaukee Brewers and Green Bay Packers. Since Ken was blessed with 5 daughters, he involved them in sports often taking them to nearby parks and practicing baseball with them or teaching them to bowl. Ken continued his love of sports all through his life by joining local teams of basketball, baseball and bowling. Ken was a member of the Port Washington Senior Center and held a title of President of the pool league and sat on the pool league Board of Directors. Ken was also one of the top pool shooters for a long time. He enjoyed playing cribbage, pitch, and shooting pool. Ken and his wife, Leah, spent many years camping around the country. After retiring the camper, they were ‘winter-texans” where they would escape the cold Wisconsin weather together for 26 years.

Ken is survived by his five daughters, Laurie (Mark) Altendorf, Linda Runkel, Lisa Poole, LeAnn (Dave) Kuehl, and Lonne (Mark) Schreiner. Along with 10 grandchildren, Tami, Mike, Chris, Patrick, Timmy, Stephanie, Tony, Johanna, Moira, and Sophia; great-grandchildren, Lexi, Jazmyn, Mav, Chase, and Ian; one great-great-grandchild, Jaymeson; 4 brothers: Jim, Paul (Kathy), Charles, and Larry (Sharon). Ken is further survived by many friends and family.
