Coach Lesher was one of a kind. Fair, firm, caring and always there for his students/athletes. He filled a fatherly role in my life that I was missing. Prayers go out to the family. Once a Panther , always a Panther.

Coach Lesher was a big part of our success in basketball during the mid sixties at Pleasant View High School. He was a gentle human with a quiet and effective way of teaching.
