Alexander G. Lefeber, 71, of Eden, was called home to his Heavenly Father, on Friday, Oct. 6, 2006. He passed away at his home following a long battle with cancer. Alex was born on June 22, 1935, in Fond du Lac, the son of Alexander P. and Ida (Abler) Lefeber and attended St. Mary Springs High School, Fond du Lac.
He served in the U.S. Army from 1957 to 1959 during peacetime in Germany in the 11th A/C.
On June 29, 1963, he married Kathryn Ann Flynn at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Eden, now Shepherd of the Hills Parish.
Alex was a retired hog farmer on the family farm near Dotyville and also worked as a machinist for 22 years at Gehl Company in West Bend. He was a devoted member of Shepherd of the Hills Parish and faithful member of the church choir. As an active member of the community, he served as a poll worker for the Town of Forest and was a former member of the Fond du Lac County Pork Producers.
He had always enjoyed the outdoors, and even before retirement would try to get away as much as possible for hunting, fishing, (especially ice fishing), and relaxing with friends and family. His love for storytelling, polka and country music, and political discussions around the table will be greatly missed.
