Re: Prayers Are Needed

Guys, I am waiting for a phone call from Lester's wife. Jeff is going to give her my number so I can get the memorial fund set up. I'm sure she'll call when she feels up to it, but it could be next week.

Re: Prayers Are Needed

I am new to iboats, and I didn't know Lester. But I just wanted to say I'm truly sorry to all his friends and family.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all!

Re: Prayers Are Needed

Maaaaaaaan . . . I was away from the computer today, and now that I have checked in my heart has just sunk. I will head over to the tributes thread, but wanted to step in here too . . . :(

I just hope he is catching up with his younger brother . . . Anybody remember his name? I'll do a search but one of the things that always struck me about Les was the quiet way he dealt with the loss of his Bro. His thoughts and reactions over the years regarding that terrible loss have taught me a thing or two . . .

I have met a few of you from the forum. Les was on my short list, and although I feel I knew him, I am going to always regret not having met him. Good bye Bigman, you were and are a Big Man with me and all that knew you.

Re: Prayers Are Needed

I know what you mean, QC ... a couple times a year I headed to Lexington and the trip took me a "stone's throw" (as Lester would tell me) from his house. I am so sorry that each of those trips I was always in a hurry to get to my brother's, or in a hurry to get home. I never made the time to meet up with Lester. For that I always be sorry!

Re: Prayers Are Needed

I received word from Suzi that Spinners visitation will be at 11am Sat. with the funeral following at 1pm. I see posted where to send flowers for those who wish to. Ladyfish will be connecting with her on setting up a trust fund for the family. Suzi was very happy to hear that such a generous offer has been made and she wants to thank all of you for all the kind words that have been posted.

I am going to copy all that is here and take with me Saturday. Friday nite at 5pm i will start copying all the posts. As i said before i am honored to be a pallbearer and with me in spirit will be all of you folks as we lay our dear friend to rest. I can hardly see my puter here because of the tears that are flowing freely , but thats how i feel and am proud of it. He was my(our) friend and i will miss him so much and i cannot imagine him not being here today

Re: Prayers Are Needed

Jeff thanks for posting that up. I know its been a very long and hard day for you. Hang in there my friend.

Flowers can be sent to:

Neal Funeral Home Inc
2409 Center Street
Catlettsburg
Kentucky 41129
Phone: (606) 739-6261

Services are this Saturday.

Or you can wait until I get the fund set up and make donations. Lester did not have life insurance so donations would be greatly appreciated by the family.

Such a tragedy to lose Lester, and yes he will be with his brother John now.

With the amount of people here on Iboats, if all of us regulars could even contribute a little it could add up really fast for the Wright family.
LF count me in too.
