Les was a wonder boss God bless his family. Mary Gleason
Les was a wonderful presence at Bywood — I always felt safer when he was working with us. And for emergencies he was just a phone call away. I haven’t really started to get at all the ways I’ll miss him.
On behalf of the Forest Lake American Legion Post 225, we give thanks for Les’ military service to our nation.
My dear friend Les, I will sincerely miss you. You were such a good man. My heart is so sad now. You were a blessing to so many. We will forever miss you, and hold you in our hearts.
Angels all around the family during this very difficult time. Miss you at work buddy. Mary Farnham
Les was my boss for 20 years and throughout those 20 years he gave me a lot of shit but I gave it right back . He was pretty cool most of the time. I don’t think bywood will be the same without him! He will be missed. If I could say anything to him right now it wouldn’t be to thank him for being a good boss and friend to my daughter Amber who still works there . My condolences go out to his wife and family. May he rest in peace.
I’ve known les since I was 11 years old. I’ve been telling him about my life and my problems ever since I met him he was always there for me. I even called him at home at times and will never ever forget him. The last thing he said to me was happy birthday. I hope you have a very good birthday Amber, I mean that have a good birthday. I have to walk into work tomorrow knowing that he will not be there, I don’t know how I will handle that.I feel like it’s a dream and he will be there to give me s*** and talk. He always cared about me and wanted the best for me and allowed me to yell at him when I was having a bad day. I wish I would have known my birthday would be the last time I seen him. I would have made sure to give him a hug before he walked out that door. He was really a great Man Who Loved many people and will truly be missed.
I’ve known Les since he came to Bywood..He was a wonderful person with a good heart…He will be greatly missed… My heart felt condolences to his family..R.I.P.

Upcoming Grief Aware courses start on
“If tears could build a stairway,
and memories a lane
We would walk right up to Heaven
and bring you back again.
No farewell words were spoken,
No time to say “Goodbye”
You were gone before we knew it,
and only God knows why.
My heart still aches with sadness,
and secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you
No one will ever know.
But now we know you want us
to mourn for you no more
To remember all the happy times
Life still has much in store.
Since you’ll never be forgotten,
We pledge to you today
A hallowed place within our hearts
is where you’ll always stay.”
Rest easy, Grandpa.
