Welcome

Lester Ray Collier
October 19, 1946 - August 8, 2011

May your grief be eased by knowing his peace in the arms of our Lord. Lester was one of the first SGT's to pick on me (in his own jovial way) when I joined the guard. I later had the privilege to serve as the 1122d Trans. Co. Commander, and I always sought his insight. Lester was a leader of men (and women) because he honestly cared about his soldiers. He was a gift in my life, and I am thankful.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Lester's family, particularly the three sons who my boys (Richie and Rusty Fong) grew up with. I taught several of the boys in Children's Church and grew to love each of them. I remember hearing the boys talk with pride about their dad's military activities such as flying a helicopter. May God grant peace and happy memories to all survivors.
