Lester retired from Browning Harvey Ltd. in 2005, as a Shipper with over 30 years of service.
Lester loved Eve, his family, and sports. Lester had a lifelong passion for hockey, that he played, coached and watched since boyhood but his greatest joy in the world was to joke with anyone he met. Lester spread laughter his whole life, with his honest smile and a simple “How’s ya gettin on now?” greeting.
