Irma I cannot begin to tell you how saddened I was to learn of Lester's passing. I know the two of you made a wonderful life together. He changed my life in so many ways by the opportunities he offered me and advice he passed on to me. I shall forever be thankful to have worked for Lester then to have carried him as a friend. A relationship as employee first which started in 1978 and continues as a friendship with you.
