Lester Albert Wehrwein was born June 17, 1915 to Walter and Elsie (Weyer) Wehrwein in Manitowoc, Wis. He grew up in Manitowoc where he graduated from Lincoln High School in 1932.
On Sept. 9, 1944, he was united in marriage to Louise Heydrich in Manitowoc. Lester farmed until 1953, worked as a carpenter until 1974, and was then employed at Manitowoc Engineering until retirement in 1984. In 1996 he moved to Minnesota to be closer to his family.

He is survived (private).
Having been imbued with a deep love of his Savior, Jesus Christ, without whom we face only eternal death, by Pastor Edward Kionka, who confirmed him in the Lutheran faith, he put his pen into the service of that Savior, writing numerous articles for church periodicals and also a religious tract, "What's It All About?" The fellowships of which he was a part were the Wisconsin Synod until 1964, the Church of the Lutheran Confession until 1983, the Lutheran Conference of Confessional Fellowship until 1998, and the Reformation Lutheran Conference, which he helped to found, until he fell asleep peacefully in his Savior.
"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man cometh unto the Father but by Me," John 14:6. "Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is none other name, under heaven, given among men, whereby we must be saved," Acts 4:12.
