Not sure what to say?

I was acquainted with Mr. Conner through his activities with the State Department of Education as a fact-finder. I enjoyed working with him and valued his friendship in our activities together. I was so sorry to hear of his passing and want to express my sincere condolences to his family. Bill Hodges

I should of put my name with the previous entry, Sorry for your loss! Kevin Wittrock

I want to first say that I had only met Leslie on one occasion, I was with my mother at a trying time to find out if her cancer had returned in another area at the doctors office at Mercy. Thankfully she was clear! He was sitting next to us in the lobby and I opened a conversation and found it to be quite delightful, my father and I sat there and had a great conversation about Epworth and several other things. I could tell that he was a man of standards and principle and regret that I did...

Nancy, Debbie, Lauren and Tom,
I was so sorry to about Les's passing. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to tell him how special he was to me when I saw him last Easter at QCreek. Les gave me my first job out of law school. He was a great mentor and a very special man. I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers.

Lauren, Vernon, Ash and Keller,
Keeping you and your family close in prayer today and through the days of healing ahead. May you find strength and comfort through Christ's promise of eternal life.

I met Leslie, (I usually called him Lynn) in the 7th grade at Harding. We were in the same metalwork class. He had successfully run for class shop foreman. I voted for him, and never regetted it a day. He made good on all of his campaign promises, because even in the 7th grade, that's how he chose to live his life. I don't remember why he told me the following, but it is one of those fond memories of youth---he told me that his parents would buy him two pairs of jeans at the start of each...

Les and I were friends at NW Classen. But so were so many others. Les was just that way. Such an honorable and selfless person leaves examples for us all to follow. Nancy I'm sorry.

You will always live in our hearts and prayers.
