Lester retired from the Junction Natural Gas Company and was an avid fisherman and hunter. He raised two families, and his greatest joy was his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
He lost his battle with cancer on Tuesday, March 27, 2007, but Lester will be remembered as "Just an ol' country boy," honest and hardworking.
A memorial service was held at 2 p.m. Friday, March 30, at the Hill Country Baptist Church, with arrangements under the direction of Graham Funeral Home.
Survivors include his wife, Jo Ann; a son, Larry and his wife, Cheryl, of Menard; a daughter, Dianne Vanacker of San Angelo; five stepdaughters; 11 grandchildren; and 11 great-grandchildren.
"Daddy"
You advice would fall on deaf ears when we were young, Your love would be ignored when we were small, Your patience would wear thin and be stretched long, Your love never wavered at all, Your wisdom became clear as we grew, Your devotion and know how, Your time has come and now you are through, You're our Daddy and you can rest, because You have finished raising us now.
Larry and Dianne
