Les, was a wonderful person and loved Merced College. He will be missed by everyone. I enjoyed working with him for many years. Rest in peace my friend.
My thoughts and prayers are with you Liz and family.

Our family has respected Les as a leader, supporter of both 4-H and FFA organizations. His presence at Merced Fair was positive for all those who love to show and evaluate sheep. May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories as you celebrate a life well lived.

It was a great honor to know Les Mc Cabe. He taught me how to heckle the refs at the MC Basketball games and always took the time to stop by our family home after basketball games to visit and attend many after game parties through the years, though he was very busy. He lived a full and happy life. Sending prayers of comfort to Liz and the family.

Les was a wonderful man! In 1980 he allowed me, an 18-year-old black boy from Rocky Mount, North Carolina with no real future to live with him and his family. He required me to work hard on the farm, study every day, and continue to work hard as a Merced College Basketball Player.

Les was a man's man! He was always ready to give advice and his opinion. I loved working with him at Merced College, and he was truly a member of our Merced College family. May God bless him & his family. May he rest in peace.

In 1972 I was a young adult and a student at Merced College. I was interested in psychology but had no idea what I wanted to do. I had the great fortune to have Jack as my teacher. He was the best teacher I ever had. He inspired and challenged me. I went on to become a lic. marriage and family therapist and have had a great career. Im sad to hear of Jack's passing and am extremely grateful that Jack McCabe was my mentor and teacher. RIP Jack.
