Les was a hard working truck driver for many years. He loved fixing things and turning wrenches on cars, trucks and boats. He worked hard, and liked to play even harder.

One of his favorite things to do was floating on a boat on Carter Lake or whichever lake was the next destination. Whether Carter, Horsetooth, Glendo, McConaughy or Flaming Gorge. If his family and friends were heading to the lake, you could count on Les being there. He was a big part of many peoples lives over the years.
