He was an amateur sportsman all of his life. Born in the White Chapel area of London, he first came to Canada as a boy and there played soccer. As a teenager in the United States, he turned his passion to baseball — as a left-handed pitcher he was unbeatable. In his later years, he bowled on vari- ous teams (and woe to the bystander who happened to be standing behind his wicked back swing). He finally found speed walking and he earned many medals in the Senior Olympics. Mr. Lesson worked for Chrysler for 51 years, earning many commendations for his suggestions. He was one of the work- ers who struggled and fought for union- ization, going on strike when there was no union strike money. His wife, who had to make do during those difficult days, will bear witness to the suffering. He would often reminisce about the days when he and other youngsters would go into the old Navin Field dur- ing practice time and retrieve balls hit into the outfield by the Detroit Tigers. His favorite player was Ty Cobb, and he would smile when he told how the great Cobb would admonish the boys by warning them to "Be careful out there (in the outfield)." Cobb, he said, was a friend to the boys, often giving away balls that had seen a better day. Those balls always ended up in a sandlot game. Mr. Lesson's eyes would mist up when he would talk about Ty Cobb and those beat-up baseballs. "I should have kept one, just for show, instead of using them up in a game. Mr. Lesson is survived by his wife of 74 years, Rose Lesson; sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Betty and Al Rasof; many nieces and nephews. He was the loving father of the late Edwin Lesson; dear brother of the late Thomas and the late Florence Lesson. Graveside services at Machpelah Cemetery.
