He was born on Dec. 13, 1914, in Gage, near Musselshell, to Harry and Hattie Wolff. Lester attended schools in the rural area and graduated from Ryegate, where he excelled in basketball and track. He was very proud of his letterman sweater. Following high school, Lester went to work for the CCC and helped with the maintenance of the Milwaukee Railroad and the Beartooth Highway. He was drafted into the Army in 1942 and assigned to Panama, where he was a member of the Signal Corps. He was also stationed at several bases in the United States before being honorably discharged. When he returned home from the service, he resumed his position at the U.S. Postal Service and was proud to be a Letter Carrier. Prior to entering the service, he met a lovely young lady at the Elmo Club in the Heights and on May 7, 1945, he married the apple of his eye, Loretta Sherman, at St. Patrick's Co-Cathedral in Billings. To this union, three children were born; Michael, Ronald, and Beverly. Lester and Loretta resided in Billings for the duration of their 49 year marriage. Lester loved to tinker with just about anything. He could turn nothing into something with just a little time and planning. He never knew a stranger and always had time for a good conversation with family, friends, and newly formed acquaintances. Always a joker with a good sense of humor, he enjoyed pulling pranks on anyone, especially his coffee buddies. He loved his garden and spent time caring for plants, including those that grew voluntarily. Following his retirement from the Postal Service, he and Loretta traveled, visiting destinations across the United States. Following Loretta's death in 1995, Lester and a group of five other widowers would spend the mornings over coffee at the local Donut Hole or the Evergreen IGA. They would visit friends and offer communion to residents of various nursing homes in Billings. He was faithful to his family and would enjoy Sunday family dinners and going to lunch with them. He was a member of St. Pius X Church, St. Patrick's Co-Cathedral, the Knights of Columbus and National Association of Letter Carriers. Saturday night was a time for Lester to attend Mass at St. Pius X Church, so Sunday would be freed up to assist with the senior citizens bus at St. Pat's. His faith in God made him a strong man and he was very loyal to his church. Lester's family and friends will remember how much he loved to talk, eat and shop. They will remember him as a kind and gentle soul and will miss him greatly. Lester is survived by his three children, Michael, and his wife, Diann, of Billings, Ronald Wolff of Yreka, Calif., and Beverly Wolff Daubert and her husband, John, of Billings; 14 grandchildren, Janna O'Brien and her husband, Shane, Pam Stading and her husband, Greg, Lori Goldthwaitte and her husband, Bob, and Michael Wolff; Jason, Timothy, Steven, and his wife, Candy, Stephanie, Roger and Loryn Wolff, Brian Daubert, Nicole Trahan and her husband, Rod, Scott Daubert and his wife, Sheri, and Kimberley Daubert; three step-grandchildren, Mark Deichl and his wife, Emily, Susie Lopez and her husband, Bobby, and Paula Jackson and her husband, Josh; 17 great-grandchildren and three step-great-grandchildren. Also surviving are his sister, Bernice Fry, of Billings, nephews, Bob Fry, and his wife, Sheri, and Jerry Fry, and a niece, Colleen Kriskovich, and her husband, Ed, as well and the Sherman in-laws and the Wolff and Grandy cousins. Grandpa was the kindest man we ever knew. He is loved and greatly missed. Lester was preceded in death by his wife Loretta, his parents and his sister Evelyn.
