Lester was a friend of my mother’s (Jackie Silon) and their mutual friend (Gloria Karlson) when he lived and worked in NYC. I so fondly remember meeting with him and his wife when I was 19 and traveled to London for the first time. I lost touch over the years and didn’t know how to find him when I was older and wanted to. Gloria, who had been a close friend, brought his name up several times wishing she could make contact too. He was very kind and helpful to me during that visit and I will always remember him.

I had the pleasure of working with Lester in London. I was a photographic model in Paris and Lester shot Campari ads for Germany with myself and Peter Keating. He also shot the advertising for tv spots and for movies with us. I am so grateful to have worked with such an amazing talent and incredible man. He was very kind and I will never forget him...a true artistic talent!

My uncle, Stanley J. Beck, died just days after Mr. Bookbinder. Stanley helped Lester early in his career in New York and when I was living in London, he sent Lester a telegram asking him to help me find a job -- which he did! It was one of the best jobs I ever had. How sad both have left us. My condolences to his family.
