    I literally cried when I got the news. He took good care of my son during his years at Agape. Really saddened at this time. He will be truly missed. May the peace of God be with his family at this difficult time.

    I heard the news at my job and i literally was on the verge of tears, in my high school days he would take me to school and as i grew up i met back up with him and had the privilege of working along side him again as he was a security guard at my work place. He would joke around with me and make me laugh every time we met. I'm so sad to hear that he will no longer be there to make me smile. Sigh RIP Leslie
