Adrian Lerch Obituary
Born January 20, 1929 in Rimersburg, he was the son of the late William E. and Edna M. McAninch Hugus Lerch.

Before retiring full-time to Fla., he had his summer residence at the Knox KOA where he enjoyed evenings by the fire pit and visiting with neighbors.
He lived 36 years in Lakeland Florida before his return to Pennsylvania. He enjoyed the Florida sunshine and warmth. He was an avid walker and his motto was "gotta keep moving." In later life he found great joy in putting together puzzles.
