Remembering Les Zucker

Warner Communications remembers Leslie “Les” Zucker, who passed away on October 14, 2025, at the age of 90.

Les was there from the beginning — helping shape Warner Communications through steady leadership, craftsmanship, and genuine care for people.

For more than half a century, he embodied the values that define Warner: integrity, humility, and an unwavering commitment to customers and colleagues alike.

Those who worked with Les will never forget his quiet humor, his morning greetings through the office, and his belief that success is built one handshake at a time.

We honor his memory and the legacy he leaves behind.

Most of us send our kids off to school on buses throughout the year without giving much thought to who's making sure current standards are upheld among the bus drivers and the dispatchers supporting them.

Thankfully, organizations like the Missouri Association for Pupil Transportation (MOAPT) play a huge part in doing just that.

Watch host Mark Heinz join up with MOAPT executive director Keith Henry at the MOAPT 60th Annual Conference and Trade Show recently, where Keith and Jacob Goslin of Warner Communications offer some great insights into what goes on behind the scenes to keep students and drivers are safe.
