Les was born on November 14, 1942 in Bryan, Texas. He graduated from Stephen F. Austin High School and Allen Military Academy and attended Texas A&M University. He was employed over 50 years with F.W. Woolworth Company/Woolco and JOANN Fabric and Crafts. In retirement, Les enjoyed taking care of his babies, his cows, and working in his vegetable garden.  He loved riding his bicycle throughout the neighborhood while visiting his many dear friends, always finding the time to talk about his pride and joy-his family. He loved baking, his specialty being peanut brittle and endless cookies for all. Les had a heart of compassion, always doing and caring for others willingly and selflessly. He touched the lives and hearts of all he met with his loving generosity and kindness. His earthly presence will be greatly missed by so many.
