In 1969,I owned Interstate Auto Mart in Roanoke. We specialized in really beautiful cars.
There was a young man who stopped in real often in his red Oldsmobile, his pride and joy. But it took second place to his Mother, whom he spoke of often.
I still remember "Buck Shot".

Mrs. Hale and family:
I am sorry to hear of your loss. I worked with Les on the railroad until he left. That man had the best sense of humor. He kept me laughing as we traveled and worked. We had lost touch through the years with each other and I'm sad that I didn't to talk to him again before he passed. May the Lord bless you all and ease your pain.

To Liz, my cousin, there are no words to express my sympathy to you and family. We all will miss his jokes, his beautiful smile and his way of making every one happy. May God put his arms around the family and continue to protect you. We know you understand death, but I can't imagine the death of a child. As you know, this time last year we expereinced the death of Mama and Daddy. Love you and I will keep in touch.
