He later graduated from RJ Delano High School in Kansas City.  He was a trade engraver for Siegrist Engraving Co., in Kansas City. He enjoyed college basketball, in particular, his favored OU Sooners.  Leslie was preceded in death by his parents, a sister Elaine Anson, and his beloved wife, Laila (Stephens) Anson.  He is survived by his four daughters: Karen C.

    I’m so sorry to hear about your fathers passing. I use to work with Les at Siegrist Engraving in the 70’s and I would ride back and forth to work with your him. He was such a nice guy and fun to work with. My prayers are with you and your family.
