Leslie Francis, the son of the late Walter and the late Violet (Schmidt) Lawrence, was born November 8, 1940, in Detroit, Michigan. He grew up in Detroit and was a 1959 graduate of East Detroit High School.
On June 24, 1961, Leslie was united in marriage with Miss Sandra Vicars in Warren, Michigan. They lived in Warren and moved to the North Branch area in 1968.
