Lester T. McConnell Jr. age 75 of Holton, Indiana entered this life on December 1, 1938 at Hamilton, Ohio. He was the son of the late Lester Thomas & Josephine Hamlin McConnell Sr. He was married to Norma Jean Nowlin who still survives at the Manderley Health Care Center in Osgood.
Lester had raised & provided for his family by working as a fence builder and welder. His family expressed that their father had always loved the great outdoors & especially fishing & hunting. Along with this, he enjoyed farming & also working on cars. Among his family & CB radio friends, he was known as the "Crazy Man". Lester's family jokingly laughed & stated that this name really fit him. He'd try anything, for example; later in his life he had lost his leg. Even with this disability, he had climbed a 80 foot CB tower to work on it. His family all agreed though, that the most comical memory after the loss of his leg, was the day he rode his motorcycle & as he came to a screeching halt, he put his lost leg down!
He was proud of his family & grandchildren . Lester passed away Saturday, October 11, 2014 at the King's Daughters' Hospital in Madison, IN .
