Cheryl and Jennifer,
I am so sad to hear of Les's illness and death. We were classmates in KS and he was such a great guy. He was always a gentleman and a class act. I admired him as a friend and classmate, and he WAS the smartest guy in the class. I will keep you in my prayers during this very difficult time.

Cheryl & Family,
My deepest sympathies to you and all your family at this time of enormous loss. Les and I were colleagues in the Nuclear Energy Division of The Agency, and he was an exceptional guy in all respects. It was obvious from conversations with him that you and Jennifer were the lights of his life. It was a true privilege and pleasure to have worked with him. He will be sorely missed.
Sincerely,
Fred Kautz

My sincere sympathy to all of Les's family. Les and I went to high school together, went to KSU together, entered the Air Force together and were roommates during our Officer candidate training. We left the service together. For those periods, he and I shared MANY unforgettable experiences. He will be greatly missed!

Dear Cherly and Family,
Les was a great friend and the smartest person I ever knew. I will never forget the nights we enjoyed playing dances with the "Freddy Joe Band". I'll never forget the one day
visit I had at your house in D.C. Our
lives will never be the same without Les. Our Prayers will be with you.
