I met Les in his role as the manager of the Zodiac Football Club. He was a true gentleman in every sense. His commitment to service was only a portion of whom he was. He would never say a bad word about anyone. However, his greatest characteristic was the dedication he had for his family. He was a great man who served as a role model for all who knew him.
Dearest Grandpa,
Rest in peace. We love you a lot…
Dear Jill I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your dad. May you and Nick and your Mom find comfort in your many happy memories of him. with sincere sympathy Anne Leier
