Once his USMC enlistment ended, Les worked for Delta Airlines for 29 years, retiring in December 1994 as a customer service supervisor. Then he stepped into his next career, that of a bus driver in the Frances Howell School District for 19 years. Since then, Les enjoyed retired life with his grandchildren and fur-babies, Sadie and Lucy.
