Starting his business career in San Antonio, Les and Nita chose Vidor as their home where he served the community as an insurance agent for many years.

He was a long time member of First Baptist Church Vidor, where he found joy in serving as a Deacon and in other capacities for many years. He loved his church family dearly and looked forward to worshiping the Lord at every opportunity.

Les loved to participate in both fast and slow pitch softball. He also looked forward to playing church volleyball with his friends and family. Many family vacations were enjoyed camping at Sam Rayburn lake as well as in the majestic mountains of the United States and Canada.

In his retirement years, he developed a passion for woodturning and spent countless hours in his shop creating many beautiful works of art, which he loved to share with family and friends.
