In February 1969, he was released from reserve duty and recommended for reenlistment with honorable discharge. Les spent many of his years working proudly as a professional truck driver. He enjoyed motorcycle rides, opera, coffee while playing solitaire in the early morning hours, watching movies, trips to Mesquite, but most of all, he enjoyed his grandkids and loved his family.
