My deepest sympathy to all of Lester's family. I am the retired Veterans Service Office of Pope County. Lester came to visit with me and ask for assistance at different times. He was a good man and a good veteran. May God Bless him.

Lester will be greatly missed by his children, relatives,
and friends. He was a good man who loved his family
and the Lord. Now he can rest in peace with Him and
other family members who have gone on before. May
the Lord give peace to the family and others who knew
Lester and hope that we can meet again someday. My
condolence to all the family.
