Lester Wool was married to Linda after Richard left the house. He was a fifty year well off man. Lester provided Joes' first notion of evil. A rich man, he would provide lavish gifts to Joes' mother Linda, but when Linda was away, a different side came out. A serial molester, Lester had been an unwanted member of several families before Joes', and presumably several after. He molested Joe, as well as his two siblings, until his older sister Theresa left a note telling their mother of his acts, before running away. Lester was thrown out.
