Dwight and family,
I am so sorry to hear of Les's passing. My Dad couldn't make a step without me being there when I was a little girl, and I have fond memories of going into the barber shop with him, and Les and Roy teasing me. He was such a sweet and kind person that always had a smile on his face no matter what. Don't you know he is having such a good time in Heaven praising our Lord! My prayer is that God will comfort you all during this time.

Dearest Judith & Family
My thoughts and prayers are with you and all the family! We spent a lot of fun times when we were in school and your dad and mom was a big part of all our lives. He was the only barber that Will, our son would let cut his hair. He always called him Mr. Les. I think everyone knew him as Mr. Les!! God is so good and I know he has a special job for your dad to do to get heaven ready for all of us one day. I love you and may God richly bless your family.

I hope this gets to you, it may be too late.
Just know that you are in our prayers and thots.

Les was one of the friendliest, kindest men I've ever had the privilege of knowing. He was always smiling, and when you had a conversation with him, you left smiling. I spent a lot of time at Les and Alta's in my high school years. Judy and I were best friends and tried to spend as much time at each other's houses as we could on the weekends and summers. Les will be missed. My love to Judy and all of the family.
