Kenneth Baitinger

Lu, you have my sympathy. I remember going to your house with Joan O'Mally. I think of you guys every time I drive thru Middleton on University Ave. Eber Janzen, Reedsburg WI

The volunteers, flight team and board of Badger Honor Flight mourn the loss of their hero, Ken Baitinger, We are thankful for his military service and honored to have served him on his trip to Washington, D.C. in October 2011 .

I like the picture of Ken because it shows his great smile and I can almost see the twinkle in his eyes. This peaceful, happy image is a gift that he leaves behind; it is a priceless legacy for his family and friends. My sympathy goes out to Lu, who has lost her long-time partner and best friend, and to Amy, Jayne, Mark and the seven grandchildren. Ken was a true family man; you were all his pride and joy. His family enriched his life and gave meaning to his years. I think he will rest in peace. Jean Jolin Westlake Village, CA

Sending thoughts and prayers to your family at this time. Many wonderful memories of Maywood Avenue and growing up across the street from your family. Wishing you strength at this difficult time and hoping you find joy in your memories. Love to your whole family, Sue (Franken) and Tim Held, Gilbert AZ

Condolences to Ken's family. Ken was instrumental to my beginning a 40 year career in data processing @ General Casualty. I also enjoyed talking with him as we both moved on to American Family. He was very supportive and I appreciated that. I'll never forget him and his down to earth methods and attitude. Brian Brown
