Lester Jozef Krek

Lester was a graduate of Monroe Township High School and attended Rider University. Lester owned and operated a successful commercial trucking company and commercial window cleaning business. An avid learner and always seeking to develop, he later took an interest in learning the trade of becoming an electrician.

Lester enjoyed the outdoors and many outdoor activities which included camping, swimming, skiing and especially hiking. His favorite pastime activities included spending time with family and friends, reading and traveling. Lester loved making trips to Barnes & Noble and spend hours reading since his choice of books were very vast. Throughout his life, he has traveled to many countries and throughout the U.S.

Lester will be missed dearly by so many, especially his loved ones. He was a devoted son, brother, uncle and friend. Lester is survived by his parents, Margaret and Jozef Krek, sisters Melody Jankowski and Janina Boeltram, brothers-in-law Miroslaw Jankowski and Jonathan Boeltram, niece Alexandra Jankowski and nephew Fox Boeltram. He is preceded in death by his grandparents, Janusz Bielinski, Alexandra Bielinska, Janina and Jozef Kruk.
