"Les was a wonderful presence at Bywood -- I always felt safer when he was working with us. And for emergencies he was just a phone call away. I haven't really started to get at all the ways I'll miss him. "

"Les was my boss for 20 years and throughout those 20 years he gave me a lot of shit but I gave it right back . He was pretty cool most of the time. I don't think bywood will be the same without him! He will be missed. If I could say anything to him right now it wouldn't be to thank him for being a good boss and friend to my daughter Amber who still works there . My condolences go out to his wife and family. May he rest in peace."

"I've known les since I was 11 years old. I've been telling him about my life and my problems ever since I met him he was always there for me. I even called him at home at times and will never ever forget him. The last thing he said to me was happy birthday. I hope you have a very good birthday Amber, I mean that have a good birthday. I have to walk into work tomorrow knowing that he will not be there, I don't know how I will handle that.I feel like it's a dream and he will be there to give me s*** and talk. He always cared about me and wanted the best for me and allowed me to yell at him when I was having a bad day. I wish I would have known my birthday would be the last time I seen him. I would have made sure to give him a hug before he walked out that door. He was really a great Man Who Loved many people and will truly be missed."
