Sometimes a person coes along in your life who is a huge influence and mentor. This is what Lester was to me. He took me in when I was just a young man and didn't even ask questions. He taught me so much growing up. A lot of people ask me how I'm so strong and ambitious and I'm proud to say it is because of him. I was so glad I got to see him last summer. That meant the world to me. He was a great man and will be missed. RIP Uncle.... Love Always, Michael & Family
