Lester began a successful family dental practice in Fowlerville in 1961 and continued serving the community until retiring at the age of 70.  He attended St. Joseph Catholic Church in Howell for many years.

Lester was an avid fisherman and preferred fishing for bass, crappie, and perch in smaller lakes in the area.  He and his wife enjoyed getting away.  They spent time travelling to many destinations including Alaska, Hawaii, Northern Michigan, Germany to visit family, and a yearly trip to Chicago to spend time at Navy Pier and in the Museum District.  A classic movie buff, Lester also liked to watch reruns of Johnny Carson.  He also liked to go out to eat, among his favorite restaurants were Beefcarver and 3 Brothers Restaurant for traditional Polish cuisine.  Lester was a beloved husband, father, and grandfather; he will be missed by all who loved him.
