I am so sorry the world has lost Lester. I'm glad he is no longer in pain, but leaving behind all his loved ones is heartbreaking. I met Lester and his lovely wife Wilma when he sold me my house, but have always loved them because of who they are. I will never forget our many long talks about life, love, and family. The most loving devoted couple I've ever met. Lester, you left behind some amazing children and grandchildren, and one awesome wife. We will all miss you so much. Heaven gained and angel. May God bless your family.
