Obituary
Lester David Kauk, former Leedey, Oklahoma resident, died January 29, 2009 at his home in Baton Rouge, Louisiana at the age of 82. L.D. was born October 25, 1926 to Chris and Lena (Trost) Kauk at Butler, Oklahoma.
He attended Leedey High School graduating with the Class of 1943. In 1950 L.D. joined the United States Army serving in the 838th Army Engineer Corps. He achieved the rank of Corporal and was honorably discharged in 1956.
L.D. was united in marriage to Miss Noreta Ann Burns on September 1, 1951 in Orlando, Florida. L.D. and Ann were the proud parents of four children; Charla, Cheryl, John and Paul. L.D.'s work with Shell Oil Company took the family to Denver City, Texas, McCamey, Texas, Jal, New Mexico and finally to Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
L.D. was employed by Shell Oil Company as a Production Supervisor for forty years and retired with them in 1986.
L.D. attended the Stevendale Baptist Church in Baton Rouge, where he was a faithful member.
His special interests were golfing, reading a good book, and traveling to see family, or have family visit them. L. D. was an avid golfer and at the age of 79 he shot a 79 on the course. He also accomplished the rare feat of a "hole-in-one" during his 70's.
