After his discharge in 1946, he worked at Crucible Steel in Midland, PA, as a millwright for 35 years. He was also a skilled independent welder. Never one to stop learning, he earned degrees in machine shop training from 1983 to1986 and his high school diploma at J. D. Rockefeller Voc. Tech. School, in 2001. He also was an avid reader, an expert gardener, and an accomplished blacksmith. He turned his love of the hammer and anvil into and art, and his creations will be forever a tribute to him and his talent. Volunteering and helping others was an essential part of Lester's life. He spent many cold winter nights thawing water pipes and plowing snow so family and friends' could continue with everyday life.

keithgartner Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 An American hero, to be sure. Men, as unselfishly giving, are few and far between. I did not know Lester, but know men of his caliber. I'm sure he will be missed by many, my prayers go out to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
