LESLIE STUART BENICK

Les had a big heart and lived his life honorably,

And, still remembered fondly.

Good man knew Les from handball and business, will miss him.

Being a late comer to the Handball Community, Les was one of the first handball players to engage in a conversation about handball and life. Every time I saw Les he always greeted me as if I had always been part of the family. Sad to hear of his passing, he will be missed. Lou Serrone

Some of my most enjoyable matches were against Les. Always a competitor but always a gentleman. RIP.

When I moved to St Louis back in 96, Les was one of the first handball players to welcome me. He invited me to play doubles with him at the annual tournament at the Lake of the Ozarks. A great friend in the following years and the Handball Community will miss him deeply.

Judy and Family. My deepest condolences. We had many handball games together and I enjoyed those and the many conversations we had. He has been and will be missed in our handball community.

What a wonderful guy and a huge loss to the community Knew Les from business as well as the J, always a great competitor and gentleman.

Les was one of a handful of J friends who greeted me warmly whenever our paths crossed. He was my trusted window guy and fashion advisor (especially outwear and sweaters that could be bought for a song at Dillards). Like many others, I have nothing but great memories to fall back on, now that he´s gone. Condolences to all.
