  1. Sorry about Les. We got to know him the last six weeks of his life. He was very knowledgeable about many things. John and Jo Damron

  2. Ridglea Masonic Lodge is saddened to hear of the passing of Brother Les Nell’s. Les loved coming to the lodge and we enjoyed the time we had with Les. He always had a story to tell, many times it was the same story but we enjoyed listening. A little part of Les will always be with us.

  3. So sad to learn of Les’ passing so many months later. Wish we would have known so we could have paid our respects to those close to him.
