I remeber Uncle Les mostly as a guy who watched sports with my father but I remember one after when he took, myself, my sisiter Brenda, my brother Brian and Nathan and Stuart in the car and did a tour of Highland Park which he called Kippyland and the took us for cheeseburgers and cokes at a local greasy spoon. It was along time ago but I still remember it fondly.

I will miss Uncle Les's pithy humor.

I worked for Mr. Kipnis in 1966 & 1967 at
Cummings & Wyman on LaSalle St. He was a charming man and a devoted husband & father. When I left his employ to have my first baby, he & Judy sent me a beautiful baby blanket. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. My deepest sympathy to all his family.
