OBITUARIES
anniversary.
Born in Spencer, Iowa, to
Walter and Rachel Simington,
Les grew up in Cable, Wis.,
during The Great Depression.
While still a teenager, he
worked his way West with the
Civilian Conservation Corps.
He met June in Oregon in
1941, and they married that
year and made Swisshome
their home. The following year
Les was inducted into the U. S.
Army and served in the South
Pacific for the next three years.
He received several medals
upon his discharge.
Along with his two brothers,
Louis and Pete Simington, Les
owned and operated the
Simington Logging Company
in Swisshome until 1968.
He and June loved the out-
doors and spent a great deal of
time camping and fishing with
friends and family.
For several consecutive
years they trekked up
the Alaskan Highway mak-
ing many friends along the
way.
Les was friendly with every-
one he met and not once did he
ever meet a stranger. He had a
generous nature and was
always the first to offer a help-
ing hand and the last to speak a
bad word about anyone.
He will be missed by all who
knew him and he will never be
forgotten.
A celebration of life will be
held Sunday, April 19, at 1
p.m., at the Simington resi-
dence in Swisshome.
