I wish I had had the opportunity to meet Lester. I only got to see him through the love he felt for Elyse. I have long considered Elyse to be a wonderful friend and employer/coworker in many delightful work experiences. She would speak of Lester in the most glowing terms that I a way made me feel as if I knew him. I am absolutely sure he will be sorely missed.

My lifelong friend was at the top of all that I have had the good fortune to know. I was 17, Lester had just begun working for a Los Angeles architectural firm. Both of us being Virgos, we agreed about everything, clothing, cars, girls, and the importance of organization and beauty. His sense of humor was always present, his subtle smile and twinkling eyes. I remember, with great fondness, that he asked me to play tennis with him, though we were both in our 80s. And I recall to this day...

I didn´t know Lester but know Elyse and her kids and I know he made her happy. May his memory be a blessing.

Lester was not only a super talented Architect, but a lovable, modest guy with a wicked sense of humor. Yes! He will be missed.

I did not know him, but wish I had. What a marvelous writer and fully realized human being.
