In honor of Senator Herb Kohl's life (1935 - 2023), Kohl's CEO Tom Kingsbury shared this remembrance:
Senator Herb Kohl leaves a lasting legacy in Wisconsin for his influence as a talented businessman and his decades of service to this community. Founded by his father more than 60 years ago and grown greater under Herb's leadership decades ago, this company is proud to carry the Kohl name. We mourn the loss of a great Wisconsinite and a kind and compassionate man. And, we join a long line of people thanking him for his impact on this state. It was a privilege to know him personally. I deeply admired him and I thank him for the example of a life well lived.
