I did not know Mr. Tolt but I know his grandson, Ben Gallovic, and after reading all of his accomplishments in his wonderful life, I now know where Ben received his attributes as a true gentleman. I met Ben's parents a few years back and was also as impressed with the both of them as they have raised a wonderful son. There are not too many "Ben Gallovics" in this world and it only make sense that it goes back to Mr. Tolt and those before him.
My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family. I am so sorry for your loss.

So sorry to hear about Les. We played with him in the Swinging Bavarians and the Cleveland Letter Carrier band. He was quite a character and instrumentalist. We will miss him.

So very sorry to hear about Les. I was very grateful to be employed by the best boss ever for 17+years. Les loved life and accomplished so much in his lifetime. I feel blessed to have know him, not only as an employee, but as a friend. With my sincere condolences.

My condolences to the family of Mr. Lester Tolt. I met Mr. Les many years ago playing in the New Horizons Jazz Band and again later with the Tri-C Jazz Ensemble.
We seemed to always be paired up together, me playing 2nd Alto and Mr. Les playing Bari. He is the reason I'm playing with the Letter Carrier's Band. Once he knew I was an employee of the post office, it only made sense to him that I should at least sit in. I'm still with them.
We've had interesting conversations over the years and he will always be remembered fondly by me. He'll be missed!
