Lester was born in Randolph Country, AL. He worked for Borden's Inc and Stratton Foods. His greatest joys in life were his family, his wife, Agnes, his children, grandchildren, church family and friends. He enjoyed fishing and hunting with his son, Randy, and his grandson, Justin. He especially enjoyed gardening with some of his best buddies from church. Lester never enjoyed being idle unless he was watching a good Western on television, or his favorite college football team, The Alabama Crimson Tide. You could almost find him working in the yard, or simply sitting outside watching the birds. He worked hard in the dirt to bring beauty and food to share with his family and others. He and Agnes always practiced the gift of hospitality and enjoyed sharing their home, gathering around the table for a delicious meal with friends and family.
