So sorry to hear of your loss Joyful. I know you wrote yearly about your family’s loss on 9/11 and to read this about your husband, today, brings extra sadness to the day. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as you mourn the added loss of your husband on this anniversary of September 11.
Les you were the cop the rest of us tried to be! No fear, always a back-up and just plain sincere. And you were the only law enforcement officer that looked good in a station wagon! Rest brother and I’ll see you on the other side.
Les was such a good man, and he touched so many lives. He will not be soon forgotten. Happy and blessed to have known him. Sending prayers to his wife,Joy, and to all of his family and friends at this sad time.
Les, you made Hackettstown a better place for having been there. You had a kind soul and everyone respected you on the job or off. Rest easy now brother until we meet again.
I loved the big smile he had when he rode his Harley Hog down main street. He was on top of the world.
He loved that bike. He always was smiling or laughing.
RIP Lester.
God Bless you and your family !!
I do not think the word NO was in Lesters vocubalary ! He was always there when you needed him for....................anything.
He was a great police officer a great Veteran a great freemason
I always ribbed him, said- Les when you retired from the police force, and you turned in all of your equiptment issued to you by the department, You turned in your ticket book, it still had a few unissued tickets, after........how? many years ?!
He's now with St Michael the Archangel watching over and protecting us
