Les was retired from the Pueblo Board of Water Works. He was at his happiest in the mountains, hunting and fishing, and spending time with family. He enjoyed his numerous, very good and faithful friends, Ted (Eillene) Brenan, Don (Joy) Martin, Didi Oldemeyer and Monica (Larry) Pacheco. He was a proud veteran of the military, serving in the US Army. He was also a proud member of the Pueblo ELKS Lodge. Les was a good man who put others first. He was a “worry wart” who even at the end was worried about others. He will be sadly missed, and joyfully remembered by all who knew him.
