Kirk Drusch Celebration of Life

6/1/2022

Earlier this spring we learned of the passing of Kirk Drusch, a longtime industry leader who served as a friend and a mentor to many of us. Kirk served as the Chairman of the WHLA Board of Directors in 2010 and as the President of the Greater Milwaukee Hotel & Lodging Association in 2002. He served on the Board of Directors of both organizations for many years, and his commitment to our industry was immeasurable.

Kirk’s family has reached out to inform us that an open Celebration of Life will be held in his honor tomorrow, and we wanted to make sure that you had the details:

Thursday, June 2, 2022
3:00-6:00pm
Rotary Building
Frame Park
1150 Baxter Street
Waukesha, WI 53186

In lieu of flowers, a Memorial Scholarship Fund has been created on Kirk's behalf. By the end of the day they plan to have more information about the fund posted here.
