After returning home, Les married the love of his life, Patsy Lorraine Stewart on May 6, 1961 in Las Vegas, Nevada. They had 5 children, Christine, Chad, Ray, Tina & Allan. Leslie hired out with UPRR working for over 39 years in a variety of positions such as a Clerk, Section, Round House Mechanic and then as an Engineer where he finished out his career in Las Vegas, Nevada. Les & Pat loved to travel, especially to visit their Mississippi family. They enjoyed roaming around together, yard sales and playing the slots and bingo. Leslie loved camping and hunting with his family and was definitely the life of the party. He could rattle off jokes all day long. He loved people and was a friend to everyone.

Sister: Phyllis (Richard) Mayer, Sisters-in-Law: Vicky (Ron) Turner, Madeline (George) Griffiths, Betty Jo Hoagland, Cecilia (Wayne) Loundsbury, along with numerous nieces and nephews.

We would like to thank the staff at Milford Memorial Hospital for the excellent care they provided, treating our dad as one of their own. He loved van rides and playing cards with the residents and volunteers.
