Les was born in Cushing Oklahoma on September 13, 1943. He attended Cushing Public School was a team member on the State Championship Football team of 1961.

Then following high school, he attended Oklahoma State University where he played baseball for the Cowboys. In September 1964, he married his high school sweetheart. Then in July 1967, they welcomed their daughter, Tracie.

After moving back to Cushing in 1969, he went to work for Midland Refinery, until the late 70's when he joined Amaco "BP" pipeline company where he retired as one of the oldest in 2004. After that he and his wife began building pipelines in Kansas, Wyoming, and Utah before settling down in Ardmore, Oklahoma to be closer to his daughter and grandkids. Where they both became active members of the Ardmore First Presbyterian Church. In the last year, Les rejoined the work force. He started working for The Sam Robert Noble Foundation where he became a friend of all!

Les loved to ride his Harley-Davison motorcycle, snow ski, hunt, fish, work, redoing old cars, driving his Corvette, spending time on the ranch and he loved "Makers Mark" at happy hour.

He was a kind, carrying, loving man, who took pride in just helping others. He loved hunting, fishing, and most of all his family, he never met a stranger. His grandchildren were the light of his life and his new great grandson "Chap" brought a new smile to his face whenever he saw him. Les always took care of his family, making sure everyone got home safely at night and making sure you were paying attention to the weather.

He will be deeply missed by his family and all who loved him.
