  1. A sad time for all of us. My condolences to all of Les’s family and friends. To me, Les has always been Denny. I met Larry in May and Denny was born in July. Larry (age 15) called the hospital and told his Mom he wanted her to name the baby Denny. She had already named him Lester, after his Dad. He was Denny to all of us until he was in high school when he decided he would rather be called Les. Even though everyone else begin calling him Les, I just had to call him Denny. I think back to the cute little guy I held on my lap in my formal as Larry and I we’re getting our pictures taken before going to the Junior Senior Banquet (now Prom). I saw my Denny grow up to become a man, a father, a grandfather. Denny, with a life too short.

  3. Les will alway be “Denny” to me. That’s how I was introduced to him some 45 yrs ago when Dick and i met. I loved having big family Christmases at our homes. Then the family got so big we had to get a hall. Denny was such a sweet guy. So nice to everyone. We will miss you. But we know you are looking down at us with Larry and your mom dad. My deepest condolences to Leslie, Johnny, Heather, Cody and all his beautiful grandchildren. God Bless you all. ❤️
