I am so saddened to hear of Les passing away. I worked with Les at Riverside for 12 years. He was so much fun to be around. We both lived in Lewiston and walked to work. We had many discussions about everything. Was so glad I knew him. You have my heartfelt condolences.

I haven't had contact with him in many years, but I attended JHS with Les. He was unusually kind and very generous - a real prince.

So sorry for the loss of Les. He always had a big smile and when he sang his songs he just beamed because he loved sharing his music! He will be missed!

Though my interactions with Les were few as our jobs only intercepted occasionally, I always appreciated Les's ready wit. Our company picnics will not be the same without Les "serenading" us with his favorites when it was karaoke time. He will be missed.
