A heartfelt farewell to an unmatched friend taken before his time. I, as well as all others who crossed his path, instantly became lifelong friends with him. And we were the fortunate ones. He had many hobbies , one of which was caving. Les, myself and Irv Sterling spent countless hours in the 90s, digging leads and following air flow in a local cave. Les and Irv then went on to experiment with ground penetrating radar to try to connect passages. And Les , who always gave 110 percent, even conducted wind studies sealing off the entrance to find out how long the cave really was. A truly remarkable man who will be missed dearly as a friend and to the caving community. Rest in Peace Les.
