Karl Ray Case, age 88, of Kenosha, passed away on January 17th, 2023, at Hospice House in Pleasant Prairie. He was born on July 29th, 1934, to the late Harold and Myrtie (Packard) Case in Crandon, Wisconsin.
In 1953 he graduated from Crandon High School where he excelled in football and basketball; which was his passion. He studied at Stevens Point for a year before he joined the Air Force and was stationed in Alaska for 4 years as an airplane mechanic. When he was discharged, he moved to Kenosha and worked at American Motors until his retirement.
Karl loved Ireland and made several trips there. He enjoyed watching sports and back in the day, he would go to Packer games with his two brothers Bob and Jim, whom he missed dearly and spoke of often.
Karl would like to thank his niece Debbie for making sure he was very well taken care of in his final days. Towards the end, she became his voice and made sure all his wished were filled.
The family would like to thank Tracy Weis and staff at Hospice Alliance in Kenosha. He was only there one day, but Tracy and the staff made a huge impact on Karl’s care and comforted the family.
Services for Karl with full military honors will be held at Southern Wisconsin Veteran’s Veterans Memorial Cemetery (21731 Spring St. Union Grove) on Friday, January 27th at 9 A.M. in the outdoor committal shelter.
