It was a shock to learn of Les passing. We worked together for many years at Ahlstrom. He was a great friend and will be missed by all. My condolences to his family and friends.
Bugger, our years together as young kids was the best times. We were inseparable! Our lives did separate but my memories of our times together have never been forgotten. You shared your family with me, for that I have been eternally grateful. May you now rest in peace. May our Lord watch over your family in these most difficult days.
