I am so going to miss all of our dinners, camping trips and our weekly late night, never-dull crazy card games. Les was a wonderful man and he will be missed more than words can say. Patti I love you and I will always be here for you, just as you have always been here for me ~Angel Cooper

Les although our friendship was new it has given me memories that will make me smile forever. I was looking forward to more cruises, days at the beach and games with you and Patti. I hope that someday the pain your family and friends feel now with your loss will be replaced by the joy of having known you. God bless you.
