3 memories of Lester
The greatest person anyone could imagine, always made time for his family and friends. My family and I are thankful for his sacrifice. We continue to pray for him and his family.
You will always be my brother,
He was the most selfless person I have ever known. Everyone he came in contact with will always remember him. He left a little something with all of us. Great men do not perish but are reincarnated by the wisdom, bravery, tenacity and goodness that future generations absorb and rehabilitate as the beautiful flowers that sow themselves and greet us every year in the spring. Domenico...you are truely one of those heros that will never perish in our hearts.
I have the greatest pleasure to served with him and would consider him to be a brother. The thing that I missed most about him would have to be the time we spent together at Ft. Bragg as well as all the other place that we travel together. He is the kindest person I have ever met, which reflect by his families value and ethic. Thank you for everything you have done for me, I am a better person because of you. You will never be forgoten in my heart.
