Remembering Al Lesiak
The JSRC mourns the loss of our friend & super volunteer, Al Lesiak. Please keep his family in your thoughts & prayers during this difficult time. A final message from Al Lesiak’s son, Steve: “Thank you for all the support. Over 50 of Al’s closest friends came to visit with him over the past two days. They say the hearing is the last to go, so I know he heard from everyone how much he was loved and just how much he will be missed. It was a perfect ending to life of a very kind man. He passed away this evening and I know the love from today filled his tired heart and he took that love with him for his next journey ahead. I will send funeral plans as soon as I can.”
