Mr. Kolander was a teacher and baseball coach at Wisconsin Lutheran High School for 44 years.
In lieu of flowers, memorials to the Luther and Bernice Kolander Family Scholarship Fund at Wisconsin Lutheran High School appreciated.
I entered Wisconsin Lutheran High School in September 1969 and graduated in 1973. Mr. Kolander (or “Luther” as we sometimes secretly called him) was such a wonderful teacher. He was a man of great knowledge and deep integrity; he was tough, yet you knew that he cared deeply about the students and expected the students to rise to their highest and best level. I am happy that he lived a long and productive life. I am certain that Mr. Kolander is remembered by students, like me, whose lives were positively impacted by his dedication.
