I am saddened to hear of Lester's passing.I too have fond memories of riding bikes with Les and the "gang" in the old CL&P parking lot.
We also spent many an hour hanging out at the Kings Corner Plaza, the Gulf sstation,and Crannes Candy Castle.
He took me to my first Stock Car race at the Riverside track.
I will cherish the memories I have of Les.
Regards,
Jim Mullen

We were good friends when we were teanagers and had good times riding our bicycles, playing with model race cars and going to the races. I've seen him in the past few years a few times at swap meets and town fair. I will miss him.

We have traveled a lot of bumpy roads together. This was one of the hardest years for us both, we lost a daughter, and I have now lost a good friend. I will remember all the races and smile. Say Hi to Linda for me. God Bless
