Dear Nancy, Mike, Linda & Family,
I would like to express my deepest sympathy for the loss of your son & brother Lester. I had not seen him in quite a few years but I will always remember him from our childhood days tagging along with Mike and I riding minibikes and hanging out behind the church. He was always a good kid. Rest In Peace Lester, Love & respect,

Lester and I grew up in the same neighborhood. Recently, we found ourselves in the same class at CSM. It was great to see him. Last Thursday night when he left the class before the session started because he was not feeling good, he left his books on his desk. A class mate called to find out if he was ok, thats when we found out he had passed away. I can't discribe the shock and sadness that hit us all. My deepest sympathy to his mom Nancy and the rest of his family. Lester was truely loved. Patrick McCormick

My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. I have not seen Lester since our days at OLV. I remember sitting behind Lester and having to deal with his antics between Tony Taormina, John Williams and Lance Morales. Those were fun times! He will be missed in this world. ~ Maxine Wong
