I worked with Chaplain Felker, twice; at Lackland where he convinced me to become a Chapel Management Specialist.

THANK YOU FATHER GOD FOR ALLOWING ME A AWESOME CHANCE IN MEETING THIS MAN, YOUR CHILD.



What a great and wonderful friend of our families Les was while he and my dad Chaplain Eugene Beekley were stationed together as base chaplains at Kadena Air Base, Japan, in the mid- to late-1960s. He is assuredly and sorely missed by so many now, but who are glad and grateful to have had the privilege of calling him friend. (https://www.facebook.com/philip.beekley)
