Kenneth E. Nisch

Kenneth E. Nisch, age 72, of Toledo, Ohio passed away peacefully Tuesday, March 29th, 2022, after a long, hard fought and courageous battle with cancer. At the time of passing, he was visiting his daughter and family in Florida. Ken was born December 20, 1949, in Toledo, Ohio to Thomas and Mae Nisch.

For over 40 years, Kenny was an Operating Engineer at Atlas Paving, retiring at the age of 60. He celebrated 50 years with I.U.O.E, Local 18 in 2021. Kenny enjoyed traveling with his wife, fishing, woodworking and spending time with family and friends. One of his favorite pastimes was spent in "papa's workshop" either crafting furniture or just lounging. You can see countless furniture items crafted by Kenny in the homes of many of his family and friends.

Kenny is survived by his wife of 51 years, Kathy; son, Bryan (Heidi); daughter, Stacy (Shane) and two granddaughters, Lauren and Alyssa, who meant the world to him. He also enjoyed his five fur grandchildren. Kenny is also survived by his brothers, Terry (Rita) Nisch and Randall Nisch, as well as several nieces and nephews.
