Our very dear friend Les Tollner passed away peacefully on June 23rd at his home in Mckinleyville Ca. He was surrounded by his wife,children,brothers and sister and we three friends (Bob Munsey. Ron Garratt and myself, Steve Injayan). He never changed- he was as kind,considerate and loving a guy as you could ever want to meet and we all remained as close as brothers all through the years. His optimism and love for life never wavered. We loved visiting him when he came to Palo Alto to see his mom(who at 98 still lives in the same house). All his trophies are on the walls and his posters still up in his bedroom -the only thing missing was his Blue and white 57' chevy in the driveway. Part of my childhood is gone and so many shared times with him over the last sixty years-he was as good as they get and it was our privilege and joy to know him. Just thought you should know.
