May God bring your family peace at this difficult time! Capt Les will be missed by many! I am going to miss talking for hours about his cars and Cruisin The Coast!

This hurts my heart . I had the chance to work with Les at buffalo in the early 90's ( one of my first captains) and in the past coupe of years. Les was one of the greats . I learn a lot from him to say the least. Les was a great asset to the towboat industry. He will be greatly missed, not only from his family but his second family on the water. R.I.P. CAPTAIN LES . I will see you one the one .
