Mr. Noser, 94, of Rochester, MN died Saturday, October 29, 2016 at Kingsley Shores Assisted Living in Lakeville, MN. He was born on August 29, 1922 in Pine Island, MN to Werner and Dora Fiek Noser. After graduating high school Ken enlisted in the Navy, fighting in a PT boat squadron from 1942-1945 in the Pacific theater. On December 21, 1944, Ken married Lois Krier in Pine Island. Ken used the GI bill to complete a certification as a Stationary Steam Engineer. The couple then moved to Rochester where he worked at Mayo Clinic’s Franklin Heating Station for 28 years.
Survivors include two daughters; Vickey (Steve) Finger of Flagstaff, AZ and Joett (Bruce) Charno of Lakeville, MN. Grandchildren are Ramsey Finger, Elizabeth (Scott) Brucchieri, Jessica (Yasir) Aziz, Britt (Kelly) Noser, Joshua (Ann) Noser, Molly (Nick) Jarrett, Matthew (Kasey) Charno, Jennifer Charno, and 20 Great Grandchildren. Ken was preceded in death by his wife Lois, son Gary, daughter-in-law Joan Noser, brother Wesley Noser, and companion of many years Mary Ann Dierkhissing.
Ken enjoyed playing golf, fishing, bowling, billiards, and square dancing. A kind and patient person who was generous with his time, Ken was a great teacher and role model to his children and grandchildren. He could fix and repair almost anything and would tackle any mechanical project regardless how big or small.
Ken was a longtime member of St. Pius X Catholic Church. Memorials are preferred to the St. Croix Hospice or the Wounded Warrior Project.

Noser Family,
Sorry to hear of the passing of Ken. Your family has had such a tough year! I remember Ken (always having his jacket on and ready to go) Very kind and gentle man who loved his family so much. Sending hugs and prayers to you all.
Dear Joette and Family,
My sister sent me your dad's obituary. Wanted to send you my condolences. When reading the write up it sure brought back the memories. He sure could fix and do about anything. Looked like he was living close to you in Lakeville? What a wonderful long life he lived, wow 94 years young. He looked great. My sister also told me about your brother and sister-in-law passing not to long ago, my sympathy for those losses too. I will be thinking about you, Bruce, Vickie, and family on Thursday. Such a difficult time for everyone. Joette, i do think about you often and would love to catch up. Sending you my deepest Sympathy.
Hugs,
Jane Balow
