Jackie and Family, I'm so sorry to hear of Les's passing. We loved Les and Rosemary. I remember some great meals at their house in vinton. Les was always so kind to me. Holding you close in our thoughts as you navigate this heartbreak. Please take care, Lance and Kristi Halva
Steve and Jacki I am sorry to hear about this. I enjoyed working with your dad at Black Machine. Always a smile and an occasional joke.
I am so sorry to see of your passing, but now you and Rosemary will be able to once again enjoy each other's company. I so remember sitting at your kitchen table and eating your pie and having you enjoy our stories of Hawk Bilt and company along with your innovations for them and for the Black Machine. It was forgotten in your notice about how you and Rosemary used to love watching the Antiques Roadshow. I have been up to your Vinton house neighborhood in the past month and wondered about stopping to see if you were still around the area, but I guess I was too late for that, but I wanted you to know that you were well thought of and remembered for being such a wonderful person for all of us. Bruce A. Gardner
