It was with tears for your loss that we offer our deepest sympathies to all of Les' family! We know he is with our Lord but he will be so very missed by all who knew and loved him!! We have so many fond memories of Les, especially when he was a very new believer in Jesus and came to Home Fellowship Group which was being held in our family room in the basement of our home on Egan Blvd. in Henrietta. Well done faithful servant.
