Obituary

LESTER E. MIDKIFF, age 83, of Louisville, passed away October 14, 2013 at Jewish Sts. Mary & Elizabeth Hospital and went to join his Savior in that home whose maker and builder is God.

He retired from TARC with over 40 years of service, and served in the U. S. Army during the Korean War. He was a faithful member of Grace Community Baptist Church, and enjoyed restoring antique clocks. Those who knew Les will never forget his quick wit and kind heart.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Ernest and Ora Midkiff, and daughter, Pattie J. Midkiff.

Survivors include his wife, Helen (Roth) Midkiff, children, daughter, Amy McCloud (Kelly); sons, Allen and David Midkiff and Donald Gullion (Sandra); brother, Donald Midkiff (Zelpha) and grandchildren.

We would like to thank Dr. James Fitzpatrick for the wonderful and loving care he provided to Les for so many years, and he will be treasured in the hearts of his family in gratitude forever.
