Kenneth E. Reignier, 81, passed away on January 14, 2024 at Aurora Bay Care Medical Center. He was born on April 21, 1943 to the late Edward and Kathleen (Beard) Reignier in Green Bay. He graduated from Green Bay West High School in 1961. Shortly after, he joined the U.S. Army and served in Germany. Once back stateside, he married Carole Bishop and raised one son, Brian.
Ken worked as a millwright at Procter & Gamble for 32 years before retiring to Egg Harbor for a few years and settling in De Pere. During retirement, he delivered fire trucks cross-country as a part-time job and volunteered at both Heritage Hill State Park and the National Railroad Museum where he engineered the train. He enjoyed tinkering around the house, grilling out for his family, baking cookies, listening to audiobooks, and maintaining his fish aquarium.
Ken is survived by his wife, Carole; son Brian; daughter-in-law Kristina; and brothers-in-law, Blair (Carla) Bishop of Greenville; Lee (Pat) Bishop of Shawano; and Bruce (Cheryl) Bishop of Sturgeon Bay.
