Lester was born on July 30th, 1946 in Atglen, Pennsylvania to Ira Miller and Doris Coates. He graduated from West Chester University in 1968 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Liberal Arts. After working as a radio announcer and news writer for WJBR-FM in Wilmington, Delaware, Lester began working for WGAL-TV in Lancaster, Pennsylvania as a weather anchor, Three Mile Island accident reporter, and executive producer. Lester married Patricia Ann Foley on October 10, 1970. Lester and Patricia would be celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary this year. Lester went on to work for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in Harrisburg as the Director of Commonwealth Media Services from 1992-1995.

Lester enjoyed diverse hobbies such as geocaching with his wife, photography, and maintaining their rose garden. He was an avid fan of Jeopardy, reading, classical music, making puns with Patricia, and quietly singing pitch-perfect bass notes while attending choral concerts.

Lester also had a lifelong affection for cats, giving many of them a warm, loving home. To honor that love, we ask that in lieu of flowers that a donation be made in his memory to The Humane League of Lancaster County .

A private burial ceremony is to take place.

He will be sorely missed by all who loved him and called him Pop Pop, Dad, Les and Gus.
