Ernest R Schoensiegel Obituary

Graduation Year Class of 1956
Date of Passing Dec 10, 2010
About My Uncle Ernest ("56") graduated out of Lane and started working for the Sante Fe Rail Road, he joined the US Air Force in 1958. Uncle Ern retired as a Major (O-4) in the summer of 1981. I took great pride in letting all my Lane school mates know of my Alumni Uncle who was a Navigator for SAC (Strategic Air Command) and became a Fighter Pilot (Delta Darts) during the Vietnam War. Uncle Ern retired to Rice Lake Wisconsin where he purchased a 100 acre property with farm house-he was happiest in the North Woods and knew from an early age he would live there someday.
My Uncle Ernest passed away 12-10-2010 at the age of 72, it was a beautiful ceremony with military honors. I'll miss my Uncle Ern, (on the far right in the picture) he had a good life/death. I am proud to have walked the same Lane halls as he. God Bless you Uncle Ern-RIP.

Respectfully,
Jeffrey E Johnson ("88")
Eileen K Johnson-BIG SISTER ("86")
