Lester Edward Flom, age 88 of rural Dennison, died at his home on Saturday, August 16, 2014 of pulmonary fibrosis.

Lester was born July 21, 1926 on the family farm in rural Dennison near Sogn to John L. and Inga (Kolstad) Flom. He was the grandson of Lars and Ingeborg Flom and Christian and Gertrude Kolstad, both pioneer settlers in the Little Cannon Valley. He was sure he grew up in the best place a boy could. He had hills and woods to explore, hunt and ski. The river was for swimming, fishing and skating.

Lester attended school at District 52, a one room country school. Later he attended high school in Cannon Falls and the School of Agriculture in St. Paul.

He spent seven years in the U.S. Navy and was an overseas veteran of WWII and the Korean Conflict. He traveled the Pacific from Alaska to Australia and from California to China with many interesting stops. Lester was in China before it became a communist country. In the spring of 1945 diplomats from all over the world gathered in San Francisco to form a new worldwide organization. Lester was assigned to a group providing security and support for them. The new organization was called the United Nations. They were sure this organization could prevent wars in the future. In 1948 he was involved in the testing of atomic bombs six, seven and eight in the Marshall Islands.

Lester began farming March 15, 1952 on the land where his parents and grandparents farmed before him. On June 21, 1952 Lester married Doris Quam at Urland Church. They were truly farming partners.

Lester enjoyed many fly-in fishing trips to Canada. He also enjoyed hunting caribou, elk, deer and antelope. He was a Twins and Vikings fan. Lester was an avid reader. Even as a boy he thought a book was a great gift. Since retiring he had checked out more than 1500 books from the Cannon Falls Public Library.

He is survived by Doris, his wife of 62 years; five children, Julie (Gary) Warner, Pam (Steve) Tralle, Kathy (Daryl) Bergs, Eric (Melanie) Flom, and Evan (Mary Ann) Flom; six grandchildren, four step grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren and five step great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents; sisters, Gladys Berquam, Emma Berquam, Alice Ross, and Myrtle Cummings; and brothers, twins Joseph and Johnny Flom.

Lester grew up near Sacred Heart and graduated in 1964 from Sacred Heart High School. Lester married Linda Kay in August of 1967 and they were blessed with three children, Lisa, Rick, and Sarah.

Lester spent most of his life working as a tool and die machinist. Starting in 1970, he worked 33 years at Plews Manufacturing in Granite Falls. In the late 90’s began his own limo service which he enjoyed for about 3 years. He then moved to the St. Cloud area for a few years before retiring in 2009 and after that he returned to Granite Falls.
Lester had several special interests that showed his love for precision and details. He enjoyed wood working and restoring gas engines, including his Model A car and an old Ford tractor. Lester thrived on being a perfectionist and the fact that he could make all kinds of little gadgets ignited that enthusiasm. One could say Lester was very skilled and took much pleasure in mechanical things.

LeVonne was born on April 9, 1925 and went to be with the Lord on October 15, 2013. She was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota and had three brothers - Robert, Russell and Richie. Richie is the lone survivor at 91 years of age. He currently lives at Windsor Gardens in Anaheim. LeVonne's family moved to Long Beach, California in the early forties. She worked at Sears and also a small appliance store.

On October 5, 1944, she married Walter Haas in San Diego. Wally was in the Navy and one month later he shipped out to the South Pacific until November 1945. When he returned they set up residence in Long Beach.

After her husband Wally retired from the California Highway Patrol they traveled quite a bit - buying, repairing and selling antiques. She had a large collection of glass pitchers, plates and Hummel figurines. In 1980 Wally and LeVonne and two of their friends - who were antique dealers - went to England, Scotland and Ireland and bought a large container of antiques and sent them home. They fixed them up and sold them. They made many buying trips across the country from California to Maine.

LeVonne loved music and liked to watch old DVD's of musical comedies. She loved to play the piano. She has always been a caretaker and never failed to offer something to eat and drink to any visitor to her home. LeVonne enjoyed being with her family and fortunately they all live close and she was able to see them on all occasions. She was very active in her church and very strong in her faith.

LeVonne is survived by her husband of 69 years, Wally; her two children, Patricia M. Ramskill (husband - Stan) of Garden Grove and Paul James Haas (wife - Bunnie) of Anaheim. Paul is a retired Anaheim Police Sergeant. She is also survived by six grandchildren, ten great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild.

The family would like to thank the staff at Emeritus at Fairwood Manor in Anaheim for the wonderful loving care given to LeVonne for the past 2 1/2 years.

A viewing will be held Thursday, October 24, 2013 from 6pm - 8pm at Memory Garden Memorial Park, 455 W. Central, Brea, Ca 92821.
