Your parents were very dear to me. Jean was my mentor when I became the Manager of Volunteer Services at UCH. She wanted to share with me all of her knowledge of the hospital. I will always be appreciative of that. In the later years, Les would drive her to volunteer at the Gift Shop which was so close to her heart. They entertained me in their home and made me feel like family.
In the last year I reconnected with Les at Brookdale when I would visit another friend. He remembered me, and we would sit and visit. Your family was lucky to have parents who were so devoted to each other and gave you a lasting legacy. May you be comforted in knowing that Jean is getting Les his coffee now.
Most sincerely,
Rita Alexander

So Sorry to hear of Les's passing. He was my favorite med school professor and I considered him a dear friend as well.

Thinking of you all,

Please accept my sincere condolences dear family and friends. May prayers strengthen you and memories comfort you. And may you find hope and comfort in God our Father, who loves us, comfort your hearts and "make you firm". (2 Thessalonians 2:16, 17).
