He was known by many as Captain Les. He was a reluctantly retired tug boat captain, as he loved being on the water and often mentioned how he wished he was still actively working.

We could go on forever about his likes and life but lets just say he will truly be missed but will remain in our hearts forever. As we grieve for his loss we know he is in a better place and its a little easier knowing we will be with him again one day.A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church on Wednesday, April 12, 2017 at 11 am with visitation from 9 am until service time.
