Hugs and prayers for the family and friends of Les Hemauer. I had the honor to work with Les in Lomira for 14 years. His steady head and expert advice helped me become a better person. I am deeply saddened by his passing. He was truly a great man!

Les was admired by our children as a good coach and mentor. We have been blessed to have him as a friend and fellow Lion. He will be missed but his legacy will live on

To the whole Hemauer family, I wish you all the best at this time. Les was a great guy. I remember when I was a bat boy for the old Albers Softball team, and Les was always my favorite. I also had a lot of fun when Les would come to the infamous Hemauer late night Christmas bar time at Who's the Boss. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

Nathan Johnston (Friend of the family) 2025-08-19 18:51:57

Just needed to tell everyone Les made Heaven on earth for all of us! His smile and caring ways were a true blessing! I will miss his warm greetings here, but thank God for a bigger promise! May God bless and keep his precious family, very special Judy, and dear Gene with the peace Les now shares with Jesus.

Priscilla Ehlert (Mom of student Jason/friend) 2025-08-19 14:44:30

My condolences to the Hemauer family. Les stood up for my and Steve's (Bear) wedding so many years ago. We enjoyed numerous ball games with him. God bless.

Deb Tasch (DeLanty) (friend) 2025-08-19 09:18:30

Les was a favorite teacher and treasured friend! My sports go to person. Les class mate and friend Leon at the Gospel Festival on Friday was certain I looked and acted like a Hemauer. Les would smile at that as I am. What a high honor!! So sorry I can’t join you on Tuesday, but will be with you in prayer. To his family, special friend and former wife Judy my eye tech, and dear friend Gene God’s peace and comfort. Looking forward to Heaven together!

So sorry to hear of Les's passing. We didn't get to see him often but he always had to visit. Our Thoughts and prayers are with the Hemauer family during this difficult time.

Tom & Betty Ruppenthal (Friend) 2025-08-17 11:11:19

To the family of Les, I worked with Les when we did NAEP testing for several cycles. He was a gem of a man and always ready to make you smile, care about what you needed to do and ready to stop for a drink after a long, hard day! He always wanted to know how you were doing and if you needed help with anything. He made our team smile and cared about our team. Most of all he cared about the kids we came in contact with. He was a gem and I was saddened to hear about his sudden passing. My condolences to his family and close friends who will miss him deeply. Margie Keuler, NAEP coworker

Margie Keuler (Coworker ) 2025-08-17 07:59:14

My sympathies to the Hemaur family. I had Mr. Hemaur as an accounting teacher in high school. I learned a lot from him but most of all I remember his passion for March Madness.

Christine Skeleton (Former student) 2025-08-16 20:15:43

My sympathy to the Hemauer family. Les' locker was next to mine in high school and he was always so nice. A great classmate. He is now an angel in heaven watching down over all. He will be missed.

Linda (Hopfensperger) Zaletel (Classmate) 2025-08-16 09:48:41

Les, I will miss you at our annual golf trips to the UP. We may not have gone together, but we sure ran into each other a lot up there. Just seeing you on Aug 2 and to see that you left this world too soon, really sucks. I guess the good do die young, but than you were better than good. Can't make it to the celebration of your life on Tuesday, but was in Hilbert yesterday visiting my sister for lunch at the Stone Hearth. They had a Gospel Fest at the park and it was packed, but then you probably already know that. Rest in Peace!

Mike Schmidlkofer (Friend) 2025-08-16 08:57:44

Les was such a nice person. And, he threw the best parties in the lumber yard!!!! Those were the good ole days. You will be missed immensely. Take charge in heaven and have a good time.

Pauline Mauthe (Classmate) 2025-08-15 18:33:03

My deepest sympathy to the Hemauer family. I did not know Les personally But yet knew him because he was a Hemauer. I grew up next door to his Aunt Elaine and Uncle Bill and his Goeser cousins (my non-biological family )and new most of Hemauer family and his aunts and uncles. Elaine,Doris,Lou,Fanny etc. George and Mabel Hemauer who owned the grocery store in Stockbridge and through my dad, Mark Keuler of Keuler's Tavern. May you all keep the memories of Les close and may they help you get through this difficult time. May God be with all of you and give you His peace. Mary Jo Keuler Madison WI,formerly of Stockbridge WI

god bless less and the hemaurer family

Patrick laughrin (friend) 2025-08-14 21:54:29

What a gem of a man he was and will be greatly missed. Loved playing softball with him; a competitor, a leader and a great teammate who had a special way of loosening up the team when the chips were down. He reminded me so much of his dad- Bike; with a huge smile who brought great fun into every encounter. Les’s smile and humor was contagious. Blessings to the Hemauer family.

Dave Goeser (Cousin/friend) 2025-08-14 21:19:34

Our years in Hilbert when John was a teacher there were some of best years of our long lives. The Hemauer family was a fun part of the whole experience. Les was a special young man. Our hearts go out to all of you. Bette and Bike were always proud of their family.

John and Bev (Sis) Stock (Family friends ) 2025-08-14 17:57:32

Les had a way of making every person feel valued. He treated everyone the same, no matter who you were, where you came from, or what you had. There was no judgment in his heart, only compassion. He truly saw people, not for their flaws or differences, but for their humanity. He gave generously not just in material things, but in time, in attention, and in care. If you needed a hand, he was there. If you needed to be heard, he listened. And if you needed to feel like you mattered, he had a way of reminding you that you did. The world can often feel divided, but Les was a bridge. He brought people together. He reminded us that life is less about what we accumulate and more about how we treat one another. We will miss his gentle spirit, his open heart, and the warmth he carried with him. But we can honor him by carrying forward what he showed us that compassion costs nothing, and kindness is never wasted.

Les, our hearts are at a loss. You always had a smile on your face and were ready for a conversation. I was getting my trails prepped for you and your daily walk. We will miss you! We know Millie was waiting for you!

Sympathy to the Hemauer family, Les will be dearly missed. Les was always so friendly and had a smile for you whenever you seen him. I got to play cards with him and always had a lot of laughs. Gone from here but forever in your hearts. Paula and Harry

Les was a true gentleman. Even though I only saw him a few times a year, he was always fun to be around. He always came to visit me at the state tournament from across the Kohl Center Court. He will be missed greatly. Les and his family are the best people in the world. God Bless the Hemauers.

Paul Cota (Friend of Les and his Family) 2025-08-12 19:05:22
