1914.
Les was educated locally and
received his degree in
structural engineering via
correspondence school during
the depression era.
In 1931, following the
untimely death of his
father, an early member of
our Club, Les became active
in the family business.
Southern Engineering
Company. After nearly fifty
years of service, he retired
to relax with his wife, the
former Daisy Miller, now
deceased. They were members
of First Presbyterian Church
where Les was an elder.
Les and Daisy had three
sons, five grandchildren,
and five
great-grandÂchildren.
Rotary played a major part
in Les's life as he accepted
the task of helping
establish the West Charlotte
Rotary Club, where he
maintained 18 years of
perfect attendance and was
honored as a Paul Harris
Fellow. Les joined us at
Charlotte Rotary in 1981.
We offer our sympathy to his
surviving son, John, and his
grandchildren and
great-grandchildren. A
memorial donation will be
made in Les's name to our
Student Scholarship Fund. |
