Lester Wolfgram Obituary

Lester Oscar Wolfgram
1926 - 2016
Les was born to Hilmer and Lydia Wolfgram on May 26, 1926 in Carson, North Dakota. He and his family moved to the Boise area in 1940.
Les met the love of his life, Norma Ramsey, at a Valentine's dance. Having two left feet, Norma soon straightened him out on the fine art of two-stepping and waltzing.
They were married on March 9th, 1947, and were blessed with three children; Cathy, Lynda, and Dennis.
After 38 years of driving trucks for Consolidated Freightways, Les retired and he and Norma spent many years traveling, going on cruises, and dancing their legs off. They were members of The Western Riding Club for a long long time, till golfing took over their lives.
Above all else, Les loved his wife, his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. They were his world.
Les leaves behind his wife, Norma, of 69 years; his children, Cathy (Mike) Wood, Lynda Kelly (Keith Whittig), and Dennis (Helene) Wolfgram; grandchildren, Tony Squires, Kelly Squires, Melissa (Ken) Mezo, Russell (Amanda) Wood, Katie (Jay) Scott, and Josh (Tiffany) Wolfgram; and thirteen great grandchildren.
Les was preceded in death by his parents, Hilmer and Lydia; his sisters, Irene, and Delores; and brother, Alfred.
The family would like to thank Valley View of Boise for the loving care he received during his time there.
Funeral Services will be held at Cloverdale Funeral Home, with the Viewing going from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm on Sunday, January 10; and the Memorial Service starting at 11:00 am on Monday, January 11.

So sorry to learn of Lester's passing. I will always remember all the good times I had with the entire Wolfgam family. I am wintering in Apache Junction, AZ, right now and I remember when you spent a winter here too and Carl and I got to visit with you. My prayers are with you at this difficult time.
