A WWII veteran, Les was on the team that cracked the Japanese code.
Les was a Master Mason and served as Worshipful Master of Valley Forge (Los Angeles, CA) Lodge No. 587 in 1954.
Armed with a MBA, Les was hired by Magnasync Corporation (later Magnasync/Moviola) in 1963. His tenure as President was a great success for the company. Under the previous owners, Moviola editing equipment was in short supply and hard to obtain. After the acquisition of Moviola in 1966, Les tripled production and made Moviola a true powerhouse in the film editing industry, retiring in 1981.
Even retirement couldn't stop Les. He and his wife Adele moved to St. George, Utah, where Les bought a controlling interest in an automobile dealership.
Les was a wonderful golfer. Even in his declining years, when he couldn't hit a golf ball with the power he did in earlier years, every single shot went straight and exactly where he wanted it to go.
Les is survived by his wife, two children, and three grandchildren and is greatly missed.
