The Milwaukee Bucks have issued the following statement on the passing of Senator Herb Kohl:

Senator Kohl was a lifelong and proud Wisconsinite who cared deeply for his state and the city of Milwaukee.  As the Bucks owner, he was steadfast in making sure the team remained in the city and his generosity led to the building of Fiserv Forum, which is on Herb Kohl Way.  Even after selling the team, Senator Kohl loved the Bucks and was always seen in his team cap around town.

The Senator leaves behind an unmatched legacy in philanthropy, often anonymously, and through his incredible Herb Kohl Foundation. His impact in sports, public service, and business will also always be remembered in our state. The Bucks express our deepest condolences to the Senator’s family and friends.

A memorial to honor him will be held in the coming weeks.
