    I am so sorry hear that Lester passed away, he was a very good man, a man of God. He raised my brother Brian and he was always there for him. The “Jesus loves Me” song is so appropriate since he is heaven bound. He will be sadly missed by all.

Well, you were an amazing guy that so many of us nephews & nieces were blessed to grow up, and be loved by you, we got to hear your corny jokes, you took us fishing, when our fathers were to busy, as we all grew older we all kinda moved, married etc. But gosh how lucky were we to spent the holidays with the Aaron’s, Jackson’s, etc. combined into was one party area full of love moments I will treasure forever. As I got older we kinda lost track, but you were always in my heart. So glad I got to spend time with you driving down Beach Road , last time you were down here in Englewood, Fl.
