Walt was born January 10, 1946, and passed October 5, 2023 surrounded by his loving family and friends. He laughed his way through life, never met a stranger, and always had time to hear or tell a joke.

Walt graduated from Lodi High school in 1964. Joining the Marines right after. When Walt returned home, he worked for his dad at Renfroe Flying Service, then the San Joaquin County Mosquito Abatement and Simplot. For over 30 years Walt drove truck for Schulz & Sons and later Tiger Lines making friends at all his stops. 35 years ago, Walt met his greatest adventure, partner in crime and the love of his life, Gina. The two have spent every day since, laughing and loving the life they’ve built surrounded by the family and friends they’ve made.

Walt was one of the richest men alive, he loved those around him, and it was obvious when Walt and Gina walked into a room that he loved his wife, and she loved him. Walt has always been proud to be a Marine, and has been known to be a family man, rider, Charter Member of the Evil & Debauchery Cruising Family, and cherished member and jacketed supporter of the Bikers Against Bullies family.

Walt loved his family, America, Trump, motorcycles, and cruising. Walt was a big brother to Ted, and Uncle to Jama, Todd, and Russ. His children along with their spouses Dorothy / DJ, (Rob), Josh, (Rachelle), Kim, Angela and (Jeremy) will always remember to pass on his mischief and stories to his grandkids Mason, Kody, Destinee, Kyliegh, Mitchell and great grandkids Sedalia, Avalon, Rome, Rayden, Harper and Sutton.

James Cooper

May 3, 1932 - October 1, 2023

Ken passed away peacefully on October 1st. He attended Lodi High School and graduated in 1950. He met and married his high school sweetheart Katherine Buck and became a father of two daughters, Pam and Roxanne. He was an accomplished sheet metal worker employed with Henderson Brothers and later, for Lodi Heating and Air. He was a very avid athlete, playing such sports as softball, basketball, volleyball and bowling. His absolute passion was in cheering and attending the Oakland Raiders games.

Upon his early retirement, Ken was very active with woodworking and refinishing furniture. In his backyard shop, he worked so diligently on refinishing antique pieces, as well as creating wooden tables, shelving units, toys, cabinets and holiday wares. If you are a family member or friend, you probably have something in your home that he made out of wood. After retirement, he and his wife, Kathie, traveled extensively to various United States locations and Canada, for family reunions.

Ken and Kathie, enjoyed watching their grandchildren play various sports and cheering them on. He was a passionate cheerleader for Tokay High School sports and if you attended a Tokay sporting event, you would soon recognize his presence there, especially if one of his grandchildren were participating.

After seventy years together, Ken was preceded in death by the “love of his life”, Kathie. It was so very common for anyone who knew them, that they could be witnessed walking hand-in-hand. With his health failing, Ken was living at Balance Assisted Living, where he received care. The family would like to thank the Hospice Organization and the Caregivers at Balance for the loving care he received there. He had a very special Caregiver, named Maurine, who was a dedicated friend and helped him in navigating his final years of life.

He leaves behind, with so many memories, his daughters, Pam Konefal (Joe) and Roxanne Oddo (Tony), as well as his grandchildren Nathan, Allison, Kristen and Chris. He also leaves behind several great-grandchildren, Kylee, Logan, Brooklyn, Walker and Jordyn.

Services for Ken are as follows:
Viewing is Thursday October 12, 2023 at Cherokee Memorial from 4:00-7:00 pm.

Graveside Ceremony is Friday October 13, 2023 at 10:00 am at Cherokee Memorial and a celebration of Life is at Zion Lutheran Church 105 S. Ham Lane, Lodi at 11:00am.
