Les…I know you are with us all, you gave me and others sooo many wonderful times of laughter, smiles, and true friendship at Central High. You are a true friend forever and I am blessed to know you.

Reading tonight, what you wrote in my Central High School yearbook way back when, makes me smile and forever will…God bless you and your family.

My heart is with you…Les and your family.

Peace,

Ellen, my thoughts and prayers go out to you, your family and “Les”.
I got to know “Les” when he trained my Lab, “Maggie Lynn” whom
I lost to cancer this past November. “Les was a great friend and
just such a WONDERFUL PERSON. He will be terribly missed by
many. I know and pray that “Les and Maggie” have reunited in that most wonderful place, “HEAVEN”. She will be so excited to see
her best friend again. “Les ” always loved “Maggie” so much and
she equally loved him as well. “GOD BLESS” you and “Les” and
you will always be in my prayers.

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I got to know Les when he first trained a lab for a friend. Later when I got a yellow lab myself the first thing I did was to bring her down for Less to look at. ” Sadie ” and I made several trips to visit Les before leaving her for training 2 years ago. I always stopped and visited with him at the Kansas City Sports Show to thank him for the great job he did in training her. Les will be greatly missed.

Sincerely,

David Ray & Sadie

This small space won’t hold all the memories.

“Cuncle Les” will always be remembered by us, and your life will ripple through the generations now as our children take what you had to teach and incorporate it into their own.

Your calming gentleness will be missed, my friend.
