Not sure what to say?

I am so sorry to learn of the passing of Les. He was a wonderful boss when I worked at the Police Dept at Moraine Valley. Les called me last year and invited me to have breakfast with him, but unfortunately, our schedules never worked out. I regret this very, very much now. I miss seeing my old friends, Linda, sisters, and your dear mom, Francis (all whom I worked with at the Howe Center). I have many fond memories of that time together. Unfortunately, I learned of the funeral service too...

My condolences to the family. While on PHPD Les loved my wife's homemade bread and butter pickles. I took Les smelt fishing at 55th and the lakefront for his first time. We had a great time and continued to do it for a couple of years more. Les was a always smiling and joking around. Sorry for your loss.

I would like to express my deepest condolences to the family, friends and co-workers of Les. While I only had the brief privilege and honor of meeting Les, while he was working at the ILCC, the news of his loss was so very sad. Thank you for your dedicated service in our community, and may you rest in peace.

My condolences to the Peterson Family

May Les rest in peace, when Moraine Valley converted from Security to Law Enforcement, I was with the first team of sworn Police Officers under Les leadership. The last 5 years we spoke frequently. My deepest and most sincere condolences to the family.

Les (Turtle) was a friend from my childhood and we kept up with each other for several years. I am so saddened to hear of his passing. He was funny, sweet, and kind. My sympathies to his family. He will be missed.
