Our Dear Les, Thank You, for the wonderful memories we have created and shared over the many years of friendship. Although, unable to attend your memorial, we are there in heart and soul. The road trips, holidays, cruises, dinners and laughs shared will be forever priceless and remain with us forever. You will be missed deeply and have left us to early... Hopefully, you are sitting next to your car, enjoying a diet and rum!! Your Friends, Ron and Lynn

My deepest condolences to Jean and family. He was always there when I needed help with one of my 'hot rods' at the Hot Rod Shop in Cudahy. The day my throttle stuck on my '56 Chevy and he was pinned to the wall was one of the scariest days of my life, but Les was back to work a couple days later, although badly bruised, working on my car (a motor mount broke putting it on the hoist causing the motor to run away with itself). He had some beautiful cars over the years and attended our St Francis National Nite Out car show a couple of times and his car and/or truck was always a hit. He will be deeply missed and my prayers go to him and the family. His suffering is over and like someone else said, he's in heaven building his new hot rod.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Les always had the answer to anything we needed, always willing to help out and just be a good listener. I only have known him for 8 years but they were the best 8 yrs of my life knowing he was in it. I will miss him deeply. Love you so much Dad

Jean and Les were friends since grade school at Fernwood. We had so much fun getting into trouble passing notes back and fourth. Well..... Les was passing them to Jean and I always got in trouble for passing the note!! Les was so cool, being a little older than the rest of us he had "street smarts". If you has Les as a friend you were also considered cool. He was a great guy, always willing to help. We have such fond memories of Les, his cars and his wonderful life with Jean and the boys. He will be missed by so many people he touched. We all wish he didn't suffer fighting the cancer but now he is not suffering anymore. He is riding a hot rod in heaven!! Love you Les
