They have fond memories of "Grandpa" at their graduations, family gatherings, his birthdays, him trying to blow up a balloon, going to visit him and going to visit his wife. He often told them to always mind Momma and sang "Waiting for my child to come home" to them. A man of faith, Lester was a long time member of Agape Christian Church.

Lester was kind, sweet and caring. His love and sense of humor will be deeply missed by all who were blessed to have shared a part of this wonderful man's life. To know Lester was to love him.
