SHEBOYGAN FALLS – Walter "Buzz" Koshen, age 83, passed away February 22, 2023, at home surrounded by his family Barb, Missy, Jim, Ryan, and Vanessa after a heroic battle with dementia. Buzz was born in Racine on April 5, 1939, to the late Walter and Aileen (nee, Johnson) Koshen Jr. Buzz was united in marriage on July 18, 1959, to Barb (nee Jensen). He was vice-president of Koshen Machinery Moving and Erecting Co and then retired from JI Case after 23 years of service. Buzz loved to spend time in his woodworking shop making models and creating hand crafted items out of wood. In his earlier years, Buzz was a ski jumper, golfer, bowler and enjoyed playing guitar. He loved to spend his time cooking out on the Weber, fishing with Barb on their boat and helping his neighbors, family, and friends and making them laugh.

Buzz was preceded in death by his sisters Sandy and Jeri, his brother Richard, and his son, Corey. He is survived by his wife Barb, daughter Joyce (Dan) Derenne, son Walter (Cindy) Koshen IV, daughter Missy (Jim) Siesco, grandchildren and other relatives and friends.
