Leslie was such a courageous and great man. When he and Becky got married I told Mrs. Boudreaux that I thought Leslie would make Becky very happy; from the tribute I just watched plus the years I watched them together they made each other happy and raised a wonderful family together. There is a lot of love, strength and devotion in their family. May GOD BLESS YOU ALL 🙏. Leslie will be missed very much. Rest In Peace Leslie.

Despite the pain, Les always had a big smile and wave when I biked by with one of the kids. Now his pain is gone, but ours lingers on. Thanks for sharing your memories of him with us.
Linda & I send our deepest sympathy to all the family.

My family lived on Elm Street in the Groves down the street from the Hanna family. My father and Leslie’s father were good friends. When my father died on Labor Day weekend, Leslie’s father came in from the lake to be a pallbearer. This meant a lot to my mother.
Leslie was a friend of my brother and Leslie was an altar boy in my husband Charles and I’s wedding January 29, 1967 at Immaculate Conception Church in Groves.
The Hanna’s were a nice family….the best.
Please know that your family is in my prayers. Rest in peace Leslie.
