Dear Julie,
I am a Hartford Tennis member and appreciated that Lester would greet me by name. Lester knew my father, a stellar tennis player who graduated from Weaver High in 1934 (and also died of brain cancer) and would tell me how he looked up to him. How very lovely of Lester, I would think, to reference their connection. The tribute to Lester was moving and eloquent. - Shelley Meyers

Dear Julie and Family,
Lester's obituary is an inspiration for all of us. My contact with him was through tennis, and he was indeed a gentleman and a scholar. Comfort to you and his family through many memories. Tish

Lester was a kind person, a constant intellect, and a superb jurist. I will miss him and his unnerving drop shots.

Julie, I never met Lester except through your words--you never gush, but it's clear when you love someone!--and I'm so sorry to know that he has gone. And to Steve and Lester's family; thank you for writing about his life so vividly that even someone who didn't know him feels that they did. I am so very sorry for your loss.

Good afternoon Steven & KK:
Sorry to hear of your Dad'd passing. The obituary is a testament to his well lived life.
Norma & Leslie Perry, Bloomfield

Steve, sorry to hear of your loss. Fifteen years ago I met Lester for about three minutes in your office. He left an impression on me then that I remember to this day. Needless to say, he was a highly impressive gentleman.

Steven, I am truly sorry for your loss. I will miss his blunt nature when reading his reports. He was one of a kind.

Steve, so sorry to hear of your father's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May he rest in peace.

Steve, so sorry to hear of your father's passing. May he rest in peace.
