Les received his education in the Wayne County Schools. At the age of 18, he enlisted into the Marine Corp and served over two years with service in Vietnam.  Upon leaving the service he worked custodial services and brick masonry.     

Les had an infectious charismatic personality and would meet any stranger at the drop of a hat. His fun-loving spirit would lead him to the meet and marry his wife of over 11 years, Mary (Faye) Armwood. 

If you knew Les, he enjoyed telling jokes and stories of his many adventures throughout his life. He was a great man of the house always faithful to cook and clean, with yard work as his 2nd main thing.

Les kept a quiet strength and joy in the Lord ruled for him. He gave his life to the Lord Jesus Christ and was a faithful member of Church of Deliverance Ministries in Mt Olive, where he served as deacon and worked in many areas throughout the ministry.  He loved talking about the Word of God and would often share his spiritual journey.
