Lester Rinehart
Maintenance Complex

(previously Fredericktown East Shop)

Lester Rinehart was an integral part of the beginning
and continued success of Kokosing. He and Bill first
worked together for the Clever Brothers and then Lester
became the first Kokosing team member. He filled many
roles during his tenure with Kokosing, including finish
carpenter, trucking manager, general superintendent
of building work and works manager. In an invaluable
capacity, Lester took on additional leadership
responsibilities, provided advice on major business
decisions and gave a listening ear. Lester was known for
his steady, detail-oriented personality, his love and respect
of tools and for his willingness to help anyone in need.
Lester’s honest and fair approach to business is a vital
part of Kokosing’s foundation.
