Leslie Aasheim

Sharon and family So sorry to hear of Les's death. We were so happy we got to visit with you two at reunion. We did go to one of his outings at the Park and got to visit with him. I went to school with him for 11 yrs but I moved to Roland for my senior year. We went to Confirmation class and Sunday School. His Uncle was married to my Uncle. Lots of good memories. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you. Dick and Pauline Thomas

We have spent many hours with Les and Sharon working on events for Clive Historical Society and in the process have not only come to admire you both, but have also come to know the kind of wonderful people you are. Les has a lifetime of contributions for bettering other people. His time in education touched the lives of many students and sometimes Jim would hear good comments about Les from students who had come to Valley from Stilwell.

Sharon and family,
Words could never contain everything that could be said on behalf of Les Aasheim. In hindsight, I felt blessed for many years since Les and I joined the West Des Moines Community School District in the same year. He was an outstanding leader as an educator, an individual to whom we could always look to for guidance. Obviously, all of his civic activities underscore what a fine man we had with us for many years. He will certainly be missed, and I pray for all of...

Sharon & Family:
I can't think of many people I respect more than Les for everything he did for his family, community, his friends and especially his God. He got things done and never said no or that something couldn't be done. Along with that he was such a personal and personable friend to so many of us. There was nothing better than to enjoy a beer with Les, or a cribbage game, or a lively discussion at our weekly WHLC bible study. He was always interested in "you" and not very much...

A long time friend whom we admired has been lost to us. Les was a really great volunteer and a true leader. I enjoyed working with him on the Clive Historical Society board and Myrna and Sharon worked together in the WDM School system. As mayor Les worked tirelessly for our Clive community. He will be missed, but remembered fondly in the best of our memories. What a great friend and inspiration he has been to us. RIP my friend.
