Lester Meyer, 92

Wednesday, the St. Cloud Times published the obituary of Lester Meyer.

Interestingly enough, the information is out of order from the traditional form of an obituary. While the individual is listed in the lead, his cause of death is mentioned and the funeral Mass and visitation schedule is listed immediately.

Following this information, the obit goes on to discuss Meyer's life: his marriage, his active membership in his home parish, and his involvement with local Knights of Columbus.

Though not quoted, family member have obviously been contacted to write this obituary. It is easy to deduce this from a paragraph toward the end:

"Over the years Lester farmed, worked in sales and was an entrepreneur.
Lester was a member of the Knights of Columbus. He loved to visit, tell stories and go for rides in the car. His family is grateful to him for allowing his story telling to live on through the various tapes of his life story that he made for his children."

Then, the piece goes on to list is precedents and survivors.

Though full of practical information and quite succinct, this obituary does the job of remembering this active member of the community.
