         Knowing Les all his life, I'm thankful for our friendship, Les was a Loyal, Faithful, True and Loving Friend. To God, Family, Gods Servants and  Friends. The Spinner and Loveless Family have been lifetime friends, we have valued along the journey of life ... Thank You, Penland's ..




I have known Les all of his life but really began to know him in the years getting ready for the first Bradley convention. He always knew where to be at the right time and what to do while he was there, an equal combination of Spinner and Lovelace and a good example for me, first of all, or anyone for improvement.
Thank you, Les and Mary, for many fond memories of our travels together. Jiml

So sorry to hear of your loss.  Our thoughts are with you, Mary, and with  all of Les' family and friends there in Oklahoma.   May you find comfort in knowing that we care.

My heartfelt sympathy, Mary. 🦋

I will always remember when you, Les, Becky and I enjoyed our yummy lunch together last year at the Redondo Beach Cheesecake Factory. 😋

Many thoughts and prayers ate with you. 🧎‍♀️🧎

Love, Gina Vandenburgh 💜

Dear Mary,
We are feeling for you and the Bullick family these difficult days with the double loss of Pat and now your husband Les. We want to send our love and sympathy, from your Irish cousins, the Wilson family.

Dear Spinner family,  We are thinking of you all these days. Our hearts go out to you especially Mary, feeling your loss. Les and I were boyhood pals. I remember when your family stopped to see us in Denver on the way to Mount Rushmore and the Black hills. (I liked your VW bus. Maybe it was 1967? ) On the way home you stopped again and poor Les had taken a nasty fall while rock climbing/hiking. He had knocked out some teeth, and his face was swollen, he was sure not feeling to good. I remember how kind the Spinners were to my Dad when he had to work in OKC for a few weeks. When we came down to see him it was the Spinners who made it enjoyable. The thing we appreciated most  about Les is that he stayed true to what matters most in life, and his vows to the Lord! Oh that we may do the same.                       LOVE  Keith & Angie

Dear Mary,

We didn’t really know you or Les, because you had left Minnesota before we came on the scene, but we know your family,  Mary, and are keenly feeling the loss of your sister, Pat, along with your family. She met with us at our home. We knew, (and loved) your parents, know (and love) your sisters and brothers, so FEEL like we know you as well. 

Reading these comments on Les, makes me feel like I knew him too!  What a wonderful man you got to spend 30 years with, yet it’s never enough. We’re just never ready to give up a guy like this, I know, because he sounds a lot like my husband.   

My heart aches for all you are going through right now and pray that the Comforter from above is holding you tightly in His arms these hard days. It would be impossible to get through this without faith.   Our thoughts and prayers are with you for peace that passes understanding. 

Love Renee (and  Rod) Martin

Les was not only my special brother he was my friend. We lived together with brother David for years as young adults in OKC. I am so thankful for the many memories we created together with family, friends and holidays. The week we had together in Australia last year will be one of my fondest memories. OKC just won’t be the same without him. Sending much love to you Mary for being an awesome wife and soul mate to my dear brother, a wonderful sister in law to me and a special auntie to Kylie, Johnnie (Brielle) and Mandy (Mark). I am devastated I can’t be with you and the family for the funeral Covid has changed international travel this year.

I recall having many conversations with my dear friend and colleague, Mary Sager, about her baby brother Les. Mary would light up as she spoke of her brother’s great skills as a carpenter. Les, like Mary, and all her family, are brothers and sisters in Christ. My heart is heavy with grief for this beautiful family. The impact of the pandemic makes this difficult time even more cumbersome, with family scattered around and outside the U.S. 
Mary, and family, Tom and I send our deepest and heartfelt condolences. May the love of Our Lord wrap around you and May He bring you comfort and peace. Hugs dear ones. 

I’ve known Les for years.  He had such a dry sense of humor that was just wonderful.  He was soft-spoken and kind and his passing leaves a hole in this world.  We’re all so thankful for the comfort in our absolute belief that his soul lives on with God.

Spinner family, when Mary told me her brother had passed away I was just in shock. My prayers go out to each of you now and in the days to come. God Bless you all
Sincerely,
Susan Wallace

Uncle Les was a man of a few words, but when he spoke he was funny, wise and straight to the point. I love him very much he will always have a place in my heart. I'm so blessed to have had 36 years with him. He and I had a special bond that I wouldn't change for anything, going back and forth giving each other nicknames was always something I looked forward too when I would get to see him and I believe that's how he showed his love. My Spinner Family I love you all and I'm praying for you and Auntie Mary I love you and I'm praying for you. Rest in Peace. Love always PR, XT, ZR and etc. 

After we were married, we knew Les best from our times together at the Bullick Family reunions.  Les was like a mighty river: calm and quiet on the surface, yet running strong, constant and deep beneath.  Mary, our hugs and love are with you.

We hold fond memories of times we shared with Les.  Our hearts go out to Mary and all of the extended Spinner and Bullick families.  With love and sympathy, Alan & Marilyn Walker

Les blessed all who knew him.   His kind and giving nature was incredible.   He will be deeply missed as a friend and person.  His smile will be in my mind’s eye forever!
