Pat, Les was such a joy to be around and I always looked forward to seeing and talking with him at our exercise classes. He had a unique sense of humor and I am so sorry that I didn't have a chance to spend even more time with him. You picked a "good one", Pat. He was such a treasure and I'll miss him. We'll talk about him and remember him often!

To the Klimt Family; We are so very sorry for the loss of our cousin. We heard so much about Les over the years from our parents. We are also sorry we never had a chance to meet. As family though, just know that we have been moved by this loss, and grieve with you from a distance. We have been reconnecting with the Nemecek's in Prague recently since the news to talk about Les. May you find peace.

Pat: I was so sorry to read of the passing of Les. You two had many good times together over the years, and I know you will miss him so much. Norm and I send you our sympathy.
