Doreen,
I was saddened to learn of Les’s passing. He was one of the nicest guys to ever play ball at the "Y".
Les always had a smile for everyone and was good for a laugh along the way. I’m sorry we didn’t get to play our round of golf together.
With deepest sympathy,
Brad Hepfer
Dear Adam, Grant and Doreen,
My deepest thoughts and prayers are with you all throughout this very difficult time. I will never forget the memorable years Les, my dad and Jay Derico coached Adam and I in soccer, basketball and baseball. We were all truly blessed to know Les.
