Obituary
Errolan “Err” Alvin Senske was born in Glencoe, Minnesota on February 14, 1944, to Alvin and Bernetta (Albrecht) Senske. He was baptized as an infant in 1944 and confirmed into his faith as a youth in 1958, both at Immanuel Lutheran Church in New Auburn, Minnesota. Errolan received his grade school education in New Auburn, received his high school education in Glencoe, and graduated with the Glencoe High School class of 1962.
On June 15, 1966, Errolan entered active military service and served in the United States Army. He achieved the rank of Private First Class (E-3). He received an Honorable Discharge on May 27, 1968.
On November 28, 1970, Errolan was united in marriage to Donna Lee at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Gaylord, Minnesota. After their marriage, the couple resided in Glencoe. Errolan was employed at Green Giant in Glencoe. He retired in 2008 after working there for 40 years. Errolan and Donna were blessed with two children, Travis and Kristal. They shared over 52 years of marriage.
Errolan enjoyed going to auctions, playing cards, having coffee, and socializing with friends. Errolan was an avid sports fan…the “Sid” of Glencoe. He followed town team ball, proud GSL Panther fan, loved the Minnesota Twins and Vikings, and loved to collect sports cards and memorabilia. He volunteered his help with GSL HS activities starting back many years to helping with kids at the State football tournaments at the dome, with the GSL HS Baseball team, and helped out at the Brewer’s baseball games. Errolan’s favorite hobby was spending time with his children and grandchildren attending any and all events they were involved in. Errolan and Donna moved to Orchard Estates in Glencoe in 2022, he loved to partake in the activities there; this included playing bingo, playing cards, and playing sports on the Wii. Spending time with his family was what he truly cherished most, always there for them for whatever they needed.
