  Our beloved husband, Dad and Papa died on February 25, 2009. He was born on February 24, 1921, in Wittenberg, WI the son of the late Peter and Iva (Babino) Abraham. He graduated from Neenah High School and proudly served in the Air Force in WWII. He married the love of his life, Ruth Parent of Marinette, on May 28, 1949, and together began raising five wonderful children. He retired as a Corporate Buyer from the H.C. Prange Company. He proudly taught Dale Carnegie public speaking classes for 35 years. "Act enthusiastic and you will be enthusiastic," was his mantra! When asked, "How are you?" -- His answer was always, "terrific!" Ken is survived by his loving wife of nearly 60 years, Ruth, his five children: Terri (Jerry) Walker, Grand Rapids, MI; Sue (Eugene) Doell, Appleton; Barb Fitzgerald, Weston, WI; Pete (Mary) Abraham, Appleton; and Karen (Mike) Kahle, Hortonville. Ken was a proud Papa to eight grandchildren: Debbie (Doug) Ryke, Mike (Agnese) Walker, Susie (Justin) Reed, Kate, Peter, and Joey Abraham, Nicole and Alissa Kahle along with six great-grandchildren: Tyler and Kendra Ryke, Michaela and Kristian Walker, Hunter and Keller Reed. Ken was a big brother to Bob (Nancy) Abraham, Neshkoro, WI and Dave (Kelly) Abraham, Sun City, AZ. He is further survived by many others who loved him including his MPC men's fellowship group "All Things Considered", his water exercise class and YMCA buddies, along with his color painting classmates. Along with his parents, his sister Joyce (Jerry) Winch, and son-in-law, Will Fitzgerald preceded him in death. Ken was a member of Faith Lutheran Church, a friend of Memorial Presbyterian Church and formerly a member of Trinity Lutheran Church. Ken was a great man, loved and respected by his family and friends. He will be missed. Please join the family in celebrating Ken's life at a Memorial Service at MEMORIAL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, 803 E.
