To know Les was to love Les

As I really don’t know where to begin I will give you an overview of this relationship in two distinct ways … as a fellow worker who I could always depend on no matter what, and more importantly, as a good friend. 

I believe our friendship was based on mutual respect and caring about each other and our family.  When my husband was diagnosed with prostrate cancer, Les and Rita was there with lots of love and support.  When I lost my kid sister to colon cancer, Les and Rita were again pillars of support as I went through a terrible grieving process. 

To know Les was to love Les.  He never said no to anything that my clients needed, he was a joy to work with, and we shared many client-friends who always knew he would give their needs top priority which he always did.  Les was not the run-of-the-mill radio personality, he was a happy, kind, considerate co-worker and the utmost professional in his dealings with me and my clients. 

I believe one of the highlights of my life at KINK over the 15 years was my friendship with this wonderful man who gave of himself unselfishly.  Both Don and I loved Les and Rita …. his death was a deep loss to both of us.
