Kenneth “Ken” H. Chalmers, age 88, passed away on Monday, October 15, 2018 at St. Joseph Hospital in West Bend. He was born on April 22, 1930 in Minneapolis, MN to Harry and Emily (nee Edman) Chalmers. He graduated from Menomonie High School in Menomonie, WI in 1948. He was in the U.S. Navy as a cook and baker on the USS Leyte CV32. Ken married his love, on May 7, 1955 at St. Sebastian’s in Milwaukee, WI. Beginning his Tool & Die apprenticeship in 1952 at Globe Union, Ken retired in 1992, after working at Badger Meter for 39 years.
