Dear Family,
Over the years, Les has developed an enormous legacy in all areas of his physical life. Although absent in body, his memories will live forever. We look forward to meeting with him in the not too distance future. As the family experience these days of sadness, it is comforting to know that this is not the end, but rather a period of rest. During his absence, let those who remain enjoy the legacy of his dedication and commitment to setting the example of wholeness.
