Lester touched a lot of lives on this Earth. I thank God for just knowing him. He was like a Brother to me and like another Father to our Daughter, "Becky" in her short life. He will be missed.

My fond memories of Lester are of my childhood, when we would go on boat trips on the Scuttlebutt and Mark Twain on the river trips. What a hoot! He was always an uncle to me, and a brother to my parents, Larry and Carolyn Alt. My heartfelt sorrow is with you at the loss of him.
