C.J. LESLIE

I was friends with C J when he was a student at Lamar College and worked at the White House downtown. He also sang at my wedding in 1963. He was a hard worker and fine Christian young man. Sorry to read of his passing. I watched the video and enjoyed the pictures reflecting his well spent life.

Les was my goto guy for appliances and good advice for the last 11 years. I enjoyed his kindness and knowledge so much that I would drop in on him just to say hello. Today I learned of his connection with J.F.Dobie High School from my wife, a member of the class of 1980. We can all morn his passing but those of you who knew him well have a lot of life and accomplishment to celebrate. I will miss him.

He was a grand person and had such a positive impact on so many kids when he taught choir at South Park High school in Beaumont, Tx., in the 60's. Prayers for his family.

Thought of him often. Praying for all of you

I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Leslie for a little over a year, I found him to be one of the kindest most decent men I have ever met.

Love the memories of his music. We are so sorry but we do know he is Heaven fishing with John Earl.

I'm so very sorry to hear of Mr. Leslie. I also was in his Music program from 1972-1976. He was a great teacher of my love for music. I sang at several of his churches he ministered to. The years has passed and I have thought of him a number of times. I will keep his family in my prayers. I know he will be missed.

My prayers go out to family & friends of Mr.C.J. Leslie. This man taught me my love for Music. 1972 to 1976, I studied voice and traveled many places along with him to learn his passion for this art. I will always keep a place in my heart for this teacher who took me to heights I never would have known I had inside without him. Thank you Lord for giving me a chance to know Mr.Leslie. R.I.P
