It takes a great man and a great woman to raise a great family. Lester was that great man. He was warm hearted and always generous with his time. My father and I would visit our Salol relatives, when I was young. I would enjoy his humorous stories of his children's adventures; and getting to know a little bit more about his siblings. I really am grateful to be related to Lester and his family. They are all loving, respectful and unselfish. Lester will be greatly missed.

Verna, you and Lester were so kind to me all the years when I was growing up, acknowledging my marriage, the birth of my children, the loss of my parents. I now know the connection. I always admired Lester, a good Christian,kind man. AND....Very handsome! God bless you all. My sincere sympathy.
