Kenneth Paul Clements, 78, of Onalaska, Wisconsin, passed away on Friday, February 28^th, 2020 at his home. Ken was the oldest of eleven children born on August 30^th, 1941 to Paul and Luella (Newberg) Clements.  Ken was married to Sharon Suchanek on January 6^th, 1964 in Waukon Iowa.

Ken worked as a welder at Trane Company for forty-one years and retired in 2002.

After retirement he filled his time as the Treasurer of the Team Bass Club and ran their Bass Taxi for local fishing tournaments for many years. Ken was known in the community for making and repairing fishing rods, but that was just a portion of the talent and handiness that he showed with all projects he was a part of. Dad, Grandpa Ken or Kenny was always the person we relied to for anything we needed. Kenny was a devoted husband, father and grandfather. He will be sadly missed.

He is survived by his wife Sharon; three daughters Julie (Jay) Rand of Placerville, CA, Sherry (Rob), Penfield of Onalaska, WI and Lisa (Todd) Dolato of Kansas City, MO; six grandchildren Lee (Michelle), Lindsey (Joe), Laura (Brian), Jessica, Madison and Trenton; and four great grandchildren Oliver, Thea, Aedan and Madelyn.
