Lester Steuck

Lester William Steuck, son of Earl and Grace (Banister) Steuck, was born September 13, 1950 in Morris, Minnesota. He grew up in Chokio, MN, where he was baptized and confirmed at Our Savior's Lutheran Church. Lester received his schooling in Alberta, MN, graduating from the Chokio-Alberta High School in 1968. Lester was then drafted into the U.S. Army, but only served a few months before a knee injury forced him to take a medical discharge. At that time, he returned to Chokio, where he has worked at a variety of jobs the remainder of his life. His main periods of employment were with Thompson Insulation, Tri-County Co-op and Chokio Equity Exchange. He had also worked for a number of farmers in the Chokio area.

Lester was a very private person who enjoyed fishing and camping with his dog.
