Please accept my condolences for your loss of your husband, father and grandfather. He was a very nice man and I know he will be missed by his family. He had a wonderful life.

To the Gentzler Family,

It's with great sadness to hear of Lester's passing.
I have nothing but great memories of visiting the Gentzler household as a teenager growing up.
If I had a car problem Les would always take time to show me how to fix any problems I had. I thought of Les as a second dad growing up and I'm so grateful for the kindness he showed to me.
I always looked forward to visiting and talking with Les and he will be greatly missed by all those who knew him.

Ruth and Phyllis, I'm so sorry I can't make it down to the funeral. I will keep you and your families in my thoughts and prayers during these difficult days ahead.

Les- Thank You, for your service - R.I.P.
