To Aunt Judy, Michele, Kerry and Julie: From start to finish Uncle Lester was a class act. Handsome, smart, cool, funny, kind, caring and loving. My mother Joyce was so proud of him and often told us stories about his adventures growing up in Lower Cove with his family, friends and neighbours. I really enjoyed my time talking to him. He always made me laugh (I'll never forget the time he told me how he liked his coffee). Though we will all miss him, we'll always smile when thinking of the many ways he touched our lives. With much love, Glenn Foote and family, Nova Scotia.
