He was born Nov. 5, 1918, in Gill, Colo., the oldest of four children to George Wilson and Edith Ward Tresler. His family moved to Eden Valley when he was young and he attended elementary and high schools there.
He received his degree in structural engineering from the University of Wyoming in 1940. He began his career at the American Bridge Co. in Chicago. He then moved to Tennessee to work at the Cherokee Dam in Jefferson City for the TVA. While there he met his wife of almost 61 years, Dorothy Walthall. They married four months later and moved to Oak Ridge, Tenn., where he was involved in the Manhattan Project.
During World War II he enlisted in the Navy and served as a Lieutenant JG engineering officer on a training ship. After his service in the Navy he returned to UW for his master's degree in architectural engineering.
He moved to Cody and started his practice as Tresler & McCall, Architects. He was a well-known architect here, and his company worked on Cody Library, the first two buildings of the Buffalo Bill Historical Center, the first building in the WPH complex and many others in the Cody area.
Mr. Tresler loved his work and the young men in his office. He was a co-developer of Spirit Mountain Subdivision with his son.
He loved to work in his garden and was an excellent fly fisherman in his day. He was an active member of the Elks, Lions and Masonic Lodge and was a Shriner. He was a member of the AIA and served on the testing committee for the Wyoming state boards.
