Born to Henry and Ester Reiter (nee Tesch), married to Virginette Reiter (nee Seban) in 1950. Survived by his daughters Debra (Tom) Whitney and Janet Reiter, granddaughters Jamie and Gina Reiter, and his great- grandchildren from Jamie, Yandel, Luciano and Bella, sisters Carol Nerby and Arlene Ockwood. Kenny had a third sister, Yvonne Arnold, who sadly passed away last December.

Kenny’s greatest passion was playing softball, which he played for the majority of his life. Jamie and Gina remember playing catch with him as children in the backyard. Volleyball was also a large interest of his. Fishing at Pelican Lake with his brother Bud (deceased) was a favorite past time of his for over 25 years. Kenny enjoyed sheep’s head and Sudoku puzzles.

Kenny was a volunteer at the Milwaukee County Zoo, in the Education Department, the Eager Beavers, for over 20 years. Grandpa loved talking about his current projects and showing his ideas! He was so proud of his work and very much enjoyed being with the ladies that he worked with!

A special thank you to the paramedics and firefighters of the Wauwatosa Station for their heroic effort.

As per Kenny’s wishes, private services were held.
