Will always remember your kindness and caring nature. also of course the $25.00 I paid to you and uncle Rudy and Uncle Johnny at my wedding for losing the bet that I would not get married before I was twenty five. You always made me smile and your laugh was infectious. You will be missed, rest in peace uncle Les. - Posted by: Terry-Lynne Hause (McPherson) (Neice) on: Apr 30, 2013

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure. Thinking of you at this sad time, as you bid farewell to a well-loved brother. - Posted by: Jeanne Gitzel (Friend of the family) on: Apr 29, 2013
