Remembering Leslie Fishbein
March 20, 2008 From Sheila Long O'Mara
Never again will I hear that great voice from across the way send a warm “hello darling” or hello sweetie” from across a showroom, restaurant or room.
Leslie Fishbein, the personality that was Kacey Fine Furniture and the one with those always-welcoming words, died Wednesday after 15 days in a Denver hospital, during which I’m sure she fought like hell to recover. That’s just the way she was.

Leslie embodied all that is good about furniture. All
