Former U.S. Senator and Mulwaukee Bucks owner Herb Kohl died Wednesday at the age of 88, his company said.

Kohl died after a “brief illness,” Herb Kohl Philanthropies director JoAnne Anton told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

“Throughout his life, Herb Kohl has always put people first – from his employees and their families to his customers and countless charitable organizations and efforts,” Anton said.

“Herb Kohl Way is not just the name of a street in front of the Fiserv Forum. The Herb Kohl Way perfectly encapsulates a legacy of humility, dedication, compromise and kindness to countless people he worked, served and helped along the way.”
