My deepest sympathies go out to your family. While I did not not have the privilege of meeting Lester in person, I have had the privilege of knowing his daughter Shawna as a dear close friend. Shawna’s beautiful heart; confidence; wisdom and deep loyalty, are surely a testament to the love, guidance and principles passed on to her from her father. In this way I feel I have met a part of Lester in his daughter and his spirit will live on in all of his children.

Our sincere condolences to Claudette and the rest of the Garnett family on Lester’s passing. As we noted on the day after he died:
A light has gone out from our lives; from the life of his family and from the lives of his friends.
We are sad that he has left us, but are happy that our paths crossed in this very transient life.
What remains are the memories. They began in 1968 when I (Veronica) first met Lester until the very end when EJ visited him at home in January. It was a friendship between our two families for over five decades.
So today, we celebrate the life of a decent man, a good husband, father, friend and one who demonstrated how to walk humbly with his God. RIP, dear brother.
EJ and V.
My deepest condolences to Claudette and Family. Lester will be sadly missed. Remembering the fun days when we used to work together and attended university in Montreal. God bless your soul, my good friend Lester.
