Not sure what to say?

Uncle Lester will always have a special place in my heart. As a child I have fond memories. He once gave me a hand puppet Snap, Crackle and Pop form Rice Crispy cereal. And another time a coiled pearl bracelet. One for me and one for Barbara. I loved that bracelet till I broke it. It was only last year that I found a similar bracelet and had to have it and one for Barbara. It brought back treasured memories for both of us. My deepest sympathy goes out to family and friends, all who...

I was sorry to hear about Lester. My prayers go out to his family and know he will be missed. I too remember working with him at Petro Tex in the 70's - he always had a smile and helping hand, besides being a hard worker. It was an honor and pleasure to know him. May he rest in peace.

I was hesitant to open this mail when I saw it concerned Lester. My, my, we had some times together on the job and at the PTC employee reunions.
Lester may have mentioned me by my plant name,Apple Cheeks. I got that name because my face was always red from either hot weather, or from the radiant heat given off while welding. Lester and I worked together on some miserable jobs.
Lester had a nice, long life, and I really appreciate his daughter/s looking out for him in his old...

I AM VERY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. LESTER WAS A MAN WITH GREAT CHARACTER. HE WAS ALWAYS HAD A SMILE ON HIS FACE.

Dear Pam and Steve, We were so sorry to hear about your dad as he was one of our favorite people. He would always tease me when I was little and I thought he was great. Many years later Don worked with him at the plant and they formed a great friendship. I know you will miss him so, our daddies are so special. He had a great life and he is visiting with all his loved ones and friends who have gone before him. Your hearts are heavy but so full of love for your great dad. Love Kay (Keith)...

You will be missed but not forgotten. Thank you for the memories. SemperFi.

Uncle Lester always made me feel special! We will miss him so much at the family reunion in July. We always enjoyed visiting with him there. In days past, he donated horseshoe items etc to our reunion auction & were much sought after! I will treasure the boot birdhouse that I bought at the auction just last year. We just don't realize that we may not have a loved one but a short time when we see them. God's love to all the family!

Lester worked hard as an older brother when I was young. I ironed his clothes for him & Momma always told me to get all the wrinkles out or Lester will send it back. He was always combing his hair. Ha! He was my last sibling left out of 11 others that were gone already & he will be missed. He is reunited with Norma Ruth & all the other family & friends & that we are grateful for! Love & peace to all the family,

Thank you for the sweet words about my grandpa Lester Ray. Dickie, you were special to him and he always appreciated that you "young guys" looked out for him & shared your friendship with him for so long. He will be missed for sure by so many.
