He was someone who could make you smile. His favorite saying was by Brother Red Skelton (a Freemason), "If some day you're not feeling well, and you should remember some little thing I've said or done and if it brings a smile to your face or a chuckle to your heart, then my purpose as a clown has been fulfilled." Lester would like everyone he knew to remember him with a smile on their face.
