I first met Les at the Family History Center in Meadville, and we figured out that we were related. He was interesting to talk to, and we had many conversations at the center. My thoughts and prayers , as well as that of many others, are with you at this time.
We will remember Les forever. He always had a smile and a kind word. He seemed to have a sixth sense for the way others were feeling. He knew if something was wrong and could usually come up with a way to fix the problem. He was also a genius. I saw him work out math problems in his head that I can’t do with a calculator. There was no problem or job too big for him. His loss will be felt by me for the rest of my life, words fail me to describe him further.
RIP my friend.
