We have such great childhood memories of family get togethers at your house with "The Gang." Your Father always had a smile on his face and was the life of the party. We wish you strength and hope you can find comfort in his memories and smile in his remembrance.

Dr. West's family,
Dr. West was a great boss and friend. I worked for him back in 1996 for about almost two years. He was always smiling and continued to make me laugh on a daily basis. I have very fond memories of that time in my life. He truly was a inspiration in mine. God Bless,

We are sitting at Eaton's Ranch in Wyoming at the foot of the Big Horn Mountains. It's a beautiful morning. The birds are singing. And we're thinking about our good friend Les West--last seen at the Gyro Installation dinner and at the Mardi Gras Parade. You are at his funeral as we write. He was the BEST and he will be missed!

I have many fond memories of times spent at the West homestead as a boy. Dr. West let Eric, David, Kurt and I explore every inch of it from the river to the road. He was a part of a very happy time in my life and will remain so. The entire family is in my prayers.

I feel very fortunate to have known Les West. He always had a smile and warm greeting to go with his cheerful personality. I knew him through Painesville Rotary and enjoyed the great comic rivalry that he, an OSU grad. and Chuck Gamori, a staunch Michigan graduate carried on every year when the two teams met. It was priceless and great fun. Les was a wonderful friend and mentor and will be sorely missed by all who knew him. Tim McCreary
