Terry Soloman Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 Maryanne and Les Bender's brother, told me this morning that Les passed in his sleep Friday night. No arrangements have been made. For those of us that knew Les, and those twinkling blue eyes, shock has set in. My thoughts and prayers are with his wife and family. - Terry Soloman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkirkll Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 I heard about Les this morning. I am glad i got to meet him this year. I enjoyed sitting in the office listening to all the "jabber" that would go on there! Only got to see him a few times, but we got along from the get go.God bless him...paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin nuggethunting Posted September 20, 2010 Admin Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 Hello All, Very sad to hear about Les. I was at Rich Hill this weekend and heard it from 3-4 locals. I seen at the LDMA Camp, Maryann posted the store will still be open from Tuesday - Saturday until further notice. Les done an awesome job with the Weaver Mining District club/claims along with the shop. Warm regards,Rob Allison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montana Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Wow, That's too bad. He was a great guy and he helped lots of starving prospectors out , buying gold at a fair price, and a good story was always on the tip of his tongue. He was a great neighbor all the years I lived in Yarnell. He'll really be missed by everyone in the area.----Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
