Not sure what to say?

My sincere condolences to the family at the passing of Lester. I have many early childhood memories of Les and Tim hanging out at my sister's (Cheryl) with my beloved brother Bill Wetherell. I took my share of teasing, but wouldn't change it for anything in the world. He will be missed, and I will always remember him. My prayers are with you.

Sue,
We are very sorry to hear of your loss.
Les was always a good friend and a pleasure to be around. We will miss him, but will always remember him.

Susie and Megan, you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Susan & Megan,
My heart goes out to both of you, this has to be tough, as the past couple of years have been. He is at peace now & out of pain. I wish I had been in the family longer, so I could have gotten to known him better. From everything I have seen and heard, he was a wonderful person! I am keeping the whole family in my prayers. If there is ANYTHING you need, please do not hesitate to call us.
Love, LeAnne

Sue, so sorry to hear about Lester

Lester will be truly missed - now he is with Family and Friends in Gods arms. Lester and my Brother "Bill Wetherell" will be sharing stories and having a good laugh at the times they had back when they were in their early 20's. Trying to top one another with each story they remember. My condolences to Susie and Megan and the enitre Nettleship Family.

I have had the opportunity to be around the Nettleships since October of 2009 via my fiance, Megan Nettleship and I've been blessed enormously by not only Megan, but Susan and Lester.

And although I didn't get to know Lester as well as I would have liked to, he was a joy to be around, always had a witty sense of humor and spunky, and was fixing equipment right until the...
