The family would like to extend a special thanks to all those who cared for him in this life, most especially in his times of need. Whether you knew him as Father, Grandfather, Son, Brother, Husband, Friend, Neighbor, Cousin, Coach, or Colleague, you either loved him or hated him. Those close to him would tell you he didn't care much either way! He also served his country in the US Navy during the Vietnam War. He had an impact on all those he knew, and he will be greatly missed.
No services will be held. It was his wish to be cremated, and his ashes distributed alongside those of his wife, Marilyn Stevens, and those of their beloved pets.
Because of his love for animals, donations can be made in his honor to the pet rescue of your choosing. Thank you for continuing this passion that Les and Marilyn both shared.
