LES WILLIAMS, R.I.P.

It is with great sadness that we must report that club president Les Williams passed away in Hawaii this past friday. This picture of Les is from our most recent luau on July 7th. He was the man that made it happen every year. He was also a key player in putting on the annual surfing contest every September. Les was one of the few people who had pretty much dedicated his retirment to the club. He went to the beach just about everyday that he was in town no matter what the conditions just make sure all was running ok. He was a club member since the inception and served in some sort of official capacity much of the time. He never expected anything in return other then the satisfaction of his fellow members enjoying a job well done.

He is survived by his wife Carolyn, daughter Karen, and son Gary. His other son Jeff passed away several year earlier.
