Hoerning, Lester A.

Age 79, died unexpectedly on Thursday, March 23, 2006, at St. Elizabeth Hospital.

Lester was born August 1, 1926, in Appleton, the son of the late Wilbert and Rose (Drexler) Hoerning.

Prior to his retirement in 1983, he was the plant foreman for Hoerning Block Factory in Menasha, and worked for Bend Industries in Appleton.
The Hoernings enjoyed family camping outings, and Les loved to golf, play pool, and will be remembered by many schoolchildren and parents as a crossing guard for the Menasha School District for several years.
