To Teri and the Coffman family,

I am sorry to hear this news. Les was a great guy and was a very good friend to our family, especially to my Mom and Dad, Jimmy and Sue Perkins. We appreciated him singing at both of their services. I enjoyed hearing him sing as well as stories he told about AC's! I especially enjoyed him telling me the stories about his time in the service. We would not have the 19 running today if not for Les. Teri you were a great classmate and I am sorry for your loss. No one is a better cheerleader for their children than their parents.

I will be praying for you and your family.

Les was such an inspiration to me. From him singing, leading the church choir and ALWAYS inviting you to church if you didn't have a church home, he always had your best interest in his heart. He loved his family and friends. He loved his church!! I will miss his singing and his love he showed for and to everyone. I pray for comfort and peace to all.

It’s saddens my heart to hear about Lestle’s death. I have wonderful memories of childhood when several times a week he would pick me up to either practice music or go to service and sing. He was always very patient and kind with me without regard to my age. He will be missed. Janie
