   Les Storch was a first class person. The quote that “only the good die young” relates to Les. He was good at his job and a great resource for the county. He will be missed.
   He will be the numbers guy in Heaven.

   He loved his work and more importantly the people he worked with and for. He was very proud to be associated with this county.

   It sounds like Les was extraordinary. Genealogy query to Craig: was there a Chaim Storch in your family tree in first half of 20th century (Bronx)?
