Walter "Wally" J. Kueng, 74, of Edgerton, passed away on Thursday, February 20, 2014, at his home, with his loving family by his side. He was born on May 28, 1939, in Monroe, WI, son of the late John and Nellie (Kubly) Kueng.
He was a 1957 graduate of Juda High School. After graduation Wally farmed full time. He started working at General Motors, Janesville in October 1958. He worked at GM for 50 years in the paint department and later as a tool crib attendant until his retirement. He was a member of the UAW Local 95.
Throughout life Wally always found time to lend a helping hand to friends and family. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, water skiing, snowmobiling and going to a casino or two. He loved to collect farm toys, antique cars and as Wally would say "a little something of everything." There was not an auction he was able to drive by without stopping. Later in life his special love was spending time with his grandchildren.
He is survived by one daughter, Carol (Delbert) Harried of Edgerton; and three sons, Christopher Kueng of Edgerton, Kevin (Cate) Kueng along with granddaughters, Claire, Abigail and Lydia, of Milton and Ken (Marie Rickard) Kueng of Edgerton, and grandsons, Ryan (Megan) Harried of Milwaukee, Ross Harried of Fitchburg. Debra Hale, of Edgerton was also a special friend to Wally. He was preceded in death by four siblings, Doris, Robert, Willis and Shirley.
A Memorial service will be held at 3:00 p.m., on Saturday, March 8, 2014, at the EHLERT FUNERAL HOME AND CREMATION SERVICES, (US HWY 51 S), of Edgerton, with the Rev. Ridley Usherwood officiating. Burial will be held at the Greenwood Cemetery, Monroe, WI, at a later date. Friends may call at the funeral home, on Saturday, March 8, 2014, from 1:00 p.m. until the time of the service.
The family would like to thank the neuro department physicians and I.C.U. nursing staff at St. Mary's Madison.
