Dear Family, your Dad’s contagious laugh and constant chatter is forever in my mind. He was an inspiration to us all for his Love of Family and friends. I have known him since he was about 5-6 years old when Aunt Francis and Uncle Kermit lived in Carey Ohio and we would drive over for weekend visits. And then they would drive over and visit us in Centerton. All of us cousins would play in the woods and terrorize the older neighbors. We always had fun. Lester had a fun personality and a big heart. Now he is rejoined with his Mom and Wife in paradise. We however are just recovering. God Bless his Family.

Rest in peace Lester. Our reunions will be quite different without your presence. Always a kind word, always a positive attitude, and dedicated to our reunions each year. You will always have a seat at the table at upcoming reunions. You're in good hands.
