Lester Schaub

 

Lester Schaub, 92, of New Fane passed away Friday May 13, 2022, at Froedtert West Bend Hospital with his family at his side.

Lester was born on December 24, 1929, in the Town of Wayne, son of the late Melvin and Elsie (Dobke) Schaub. Lester graduated from Kewaskum High School. After high school, he served in the United States Army for two years. On May 1, 1954, he was united in marriage to LaVerne Gatzke at St John Lutheran Church in New Fane and remained married for 59 years.

Lester was a member of Shepherd of the Hills in West Bend. He was second shift Plant Superintendent at Regal Ware. He was an avid trap-shooter. His hobby was sharpening chains for chain saws, which turned into his side business. He thought of all his customers as friends, loved the many conversations and especially LOVED the baked goods at Christmas.

Those Lester leaves behind to await the reunion in heaven include four children, Karyn DeRosso, Connie (Aga Gonzalez) Corrao, Mark (Kathy Klupper) Schaub and Laurie (Al) Paul; five grandchildren, Angie Butzke, Chad (Tricia) Butzke, Carrie (Morgan Dixon) Schaub, Kimberly (Michael) Janosz and Kayla (Crystal Johnson) Paul; and four great-grandchildren, Jordan Walker, Izabela Butzke, Jax Butzke and Theron Janosz; a brother-in-law, Delmar (Anita) Gatzke, other friends and relatives.

In addition to his parents, Lester was preceded in death by his wife, LaVerne Schaub; and brother, Lee (Darlene) Schaub.

Visitation for Lester will be held on Saturday, May 21, 2022, at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church (6869 Wildwood Rd. – West Bend, WI 53090) from 1:30 p.m. until time of service. Funeral service will be at 3 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, memorials in Lester’s name can be directed to Shepherd of the Hills in West Bend.
