General Bill Lefler was a special person that sincerely cared about everyone he encountered, said Dr. Agar. He had a phenomenal memory that he used to relate and extend positive energy to support you during good and difficult times. He was an exceptionally outstanding humanitarian, prosthodontist, educator and leader. He had a more profound effect on my professional and personal life than I am able to explain. I am tremendously honored and appreciative of receiving this award.
