I'm so sorry to hear about Les's passing. I was a customer of Behm Motors, purchasing more than one VW during the late '60s and '70s. I shared a love of motorsports and was involved in the Fox Valley Sportscar Club in the early '60s. Les was so generous, in addition to being a nice guy, by including me in his "crew" when he raced at Meadowdale (IL) and Lynndale Farms (Pewaukee). I have so many fond memories from those years. I offer my condolences to Les's family.

Shirley .. my sincerest conolences

We are saddened to hear of your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Sure have fond memories of Uncle Les. Jean and Sanford Wheeler

Sorry to hear of the passing of Les. I hadn't had contact with him for some time. He came from our area many years ago and we did dealership business with him in the past. He was a good man and will be missed.

Thank you for your service during WWII .and hauling prisoners around .RIP Racer Les
A veteran

I want to send my sympathy and condolences in the loss of Les. He was truly one of a kind. I purchased my first car from Team Behm and also my parents purchased one of their cars from Team Behm. That was a company that was so trustworthy and everyone who worked there was the best. I got a chance to met Les when I purchased my car and he was truly a gentlemen. You knew that you could trust him and got a good deal almost like they did years ago with a handshake. He will truly be missed. ...

Shirley and family. we express our condolences of your loss!! were thinking of you in our prayers and thoughts!!

Thank you for your service to our country. May you rest in peace.
