I was named after Lester, he is my Godfather. Lester went through a lot of grief and sorrow, but still put others before himself.I can thank Lester for many of the old school values that I treasure and live my life by today.
Whether enjoying a beer, a game of cards, country music or a day at the Races, Lester never changed... what you saw is what you got lol...
Rest in peace Lester, you will forever hold a place of honour in my heart.
Like those gathered today to farewell you, I will truly miss you but I will never forget you....
Love Always, TONY.

Missing all the banter we used to have at Clarehouse Lester, the boys miss your quirks and sense of humour too. They had a bourbon while watching the rugby last week for ya. Missing the big grin and laughs when I greeted you with "morning fossil"...and the bets we put on your sugar levels at lunch time were always a good laugh. We were pretty lucky to get to know you and your family. You are dearly missed, rest easy mister xx
