I knew Lester and Lorrain from their Wolf Creek days and lived near them in Willits, so they both were an integral part of my life. My condolenses to their family.

I remember many days of my childhood spent at the McGuffey home with Lester and Lorrain and their grandchildren, Shawna and Michael. Playing croquet in the back yard, painting sand dollars, baking cookies. Lester always had a smile on his face as he rode his bike around town. I will never forget him. My condolences to his family and friends.
