I worked with Les as a DJ's at Gatsby's. I enjoyed working for him during those years. We remained friends after those years. I am sorry to hear of his passing.
At the 11th hour I will raise a toast in his honor as a friend gone before me. I am sure he has a great club job in heaven or is enjoying time catching up with great friends and family. This next song is dedicated to you Les.
