I'll miss you Grandpa Lester. I'll never forget the many great memories I have of you. How you got me in trouble at day care when I was 3 for calling all the kids "p#cker heads". When they asked why I was calling them that name...I told them "That's what my Grandpa Lester calls me!" You always had a really great story to share with me and always had the ability to make anyone laugh at any time. I never did get to beat you at checkers. Maybe one day we will meet again...I'll keep practicing just in case. We all love you and will miss you everyday.
