I'm so sorry that Lester has passed, but I'm glad that I got to know him better over the last few years.  He was one of the last of my mother's generation, her first cousin.  A very sweet man, insightful and caring.  He loved spending time with his granddaughter, and she was so lucky to have him in her life.   I'm also glad that he got to spend a little time with my daughter Maddie.  They really enjoyed each other's company.  Lester had a little stuffed kitty that I think he got to remind himself of his own cats that he couldn't care for as he got older.  He gave it to Maddie and she still loves it to this day, and she thinks of him when she plays with it.

Lester enjoyed traveling - we were always happy to see him up in our neighborhood over the years.  One of my fondest memories is working on genealogy with him, my mother, and his nephews Peter and Jeff.  I was hoping to see him back in Florida this year, and I'm sad that won't happen, but I'm grateful that we kept in touch.  He was bright and with it until close to the end - we emailed up to a few months ago.  He was always happy to get photos of Maddie.

Goodbye Lester, I'll miss you - Fair winds and following seas!

We were deeply saddened to learn of uncle Lester's passing. He was my father's younger brother and he was a truly unique individual. While we did not see him as much as we would have liked to, we will always cherish the memories of listening to him, either in person or on the phone, talk about family history, of which he knew more than anyone. When he spoke, ancestors we never knew came to life. 

Our heartfelt condolences to Lester's daughter Donna and granddaughter Sierra.

Rest in Peace dear uncle! You will always be in our hearts!

Jeff and Iwona 


Uncle Lester, when your brother (my grandfather) grew ill you both reignited your relationship and I finally got to spend time with you in NY with Donna and later also Sierra. After he passed, it was wonderful to continue to connect through the years, and hear your stories, and I even got you all to myself on a visit to FL a few years back. You picked me up at the airport and took me to lunch and we chatted for hours! You brought along some ancestry. com finds and told me about your cats and Claudette Colbert and hanging chads - we had a grand time. I will never forget your kindness. Rest in peace. Xoxox Marta

Lester was my uncle, my father’s brother, and I loved him very much. He had so many wonderful stories to tell about the family going back almost a century.  I am so happy I was able to visit him in Florida numerous times over the years from my home in Los Angeles. I will always carry those memories with me. 
You are one of a kind my uncle Lester and I will always hold you in my heart.
