I was saddened to hear of Lester's passing. Lester, though a man of few words, embodied what it was to be a family man much loved by family and friends alike. He leaves me with a soft memory of a good man and I know he will be missed. Please accept my condolences and may you find the comfort to carry you through these difficult days.
Sincerely, Harriette (Lindfors) Besseck
