It is with great sadness that we report the passing of Herb Kohl, the former US Senator and owner of the Milwaukee Bucks, at the age of 88.
Herb Kohl was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1932. He was a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he earned a degree in business. After college, he went on to become a successful businessman and philanthropist. In 1988, he was elected to the US Senate, where he served four terms. During his time in office, he was a strong advocate for education and economic development.
Kohl was also the owner of the Milwaukee Bucks since 1985. Under his leadership, the team made it to the NBA playoffs six times and won the Eastern Conference Championship in 2001. He was also a major supporter of the team’s charitable foundation, which works to improve the lives of children in Milwaukee.
Kohl was known for his generosity and commitment to his community. He donated millions of dollars to local charities and educational institutions. He also established the Herb Kohl Educational Foundation, which provides scholarships to Wisconsin students.
Herb Kohl will be remembered for his dedication to public service and his commitment to making Milwaukee a better place. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time.
