Leslie was a large man with a huge heart. He cared about people and was always ready to help in any way. He is a Blessed memory.

To the Sharoff Family, I am so sorry to hear about Les. I was shocked and saddened by the news. Hope Steven, Sheldon and Les are at a bettter place.. My prayers are with you at this time.

Dear Steven,
...I can't fathom the depth of your loss!
...I will always regret that I didn't meet with you & Leslie when I was last in Monticello in 1998.
...I'm writing a book that chronicles meetings with remarkable people - decade by decade. In the '60s I describe going into Watts in L.A. with Leslie after the riots, with cameras hanging around his neck so he could document the first "Black & White Love-In."

I am so saddened to hear of the sudden passing of Les. I know how close both my late father and Les were, both during childhood and throughout their entire lives. It makes one wonder why those so good in this world are taken so soon. I believe that they have a higher purpose in life and have transitioned to the next level.

Dear Steven,
So very many years have passed, but I wanted to let you know that I'm deeply saddened over your tragic loss. I extend my heartfelt sympathy and sincere condolences to you and your family during this very difficult time. As your family and friends mourn your loss, we also honor the life that was well lived. Our love and memories will endure and stay with us forever.

Dear Pam, Steve, Nancy, and Morgan

I was completely shocked and in a state of disbelief when I found out what had happened to such a larger than life, and immortal person. I have spent a great deal of time talking with my parents, Jason, and Lauren, sharing and explaining fond memories of growing up making trips to Monticello and Les being such an integral part of those visits.

With a heavy heart for the loss of one my late father's dearest friends, I express my condolences to the Sharoff family.

There are no words to express the sorrow you are all going through at this time. Leslie was such a dear friend and I will miss him terribly. We will always have such great memories. Sheldon and Les are together again and you know they are having the best time.
My prayers are with you all.
