Wow I had no idea Loaf posted on Slap. It sort of makes sense considering how much he knew about skating and how interested he was in it. Loaf was a local at Shoreview skatepark in San Mateo and I spent many afternoons after school skating and shooting the shit with him there while I was growing up. As park locals filtered in and out over the years Loaf stuck around, his welcoming and fun-loving attitude as well as his seniority (the dude really knew his shit and it was easy to tell when talking to him, also he could do just about anything within reason on the curb at the park and could also do a whole lot of stuff on the higher obstacles like the ledges and the flatbar) maintained his status as a central facet of the local skate scene. I'll miss him dearly. I shot the photo of him that Thrasher posted on their story at a skate jam hosted by Atlas skateshop at Shoreview in April 2018. I found out Lester had passed when I woke up to Tony Vitello in my DMs asking me to email him the photo, which felt weird.
