Les dedicated his life to our community as an educator and coach. He worked as a football coach, special education teacher and coach of the fishing team at North Caddo High School, his alma mater. He started his teaching and coaching career at Plain Dealing Academy, moved to Vivian Elementary Middle School in 1990, where he worked until 1998 when he moved to North Caddo High. He was beloved by all his students and players, and his passing will leave a void on the field, in the classroom and in the community. He was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting and fishing.
