I worked with Les many years ago in the #1 shop at Goulds Pumps, Inc.. He was an excellent machinist and we could always count on him to keep things fun and "lively". Rest in Peace my friend! The very Best to your family and friends! God Bless You Les.

I am sorry to hear of Les´ passing. He was a wonderful man and was always a kind face at the transfer station. He will surely be missed.
