We Remember
WOODWARD, Leslie Jack
—
THE FAMILY HAS DECIDED TO POSTPONE THE CELEBRATION OF LIFE TO A LATER DATE WHEN IT WILL BE MORE APPROPRIATE TO GATHER
Leslie Jack Woodward of Kelowna, BC, passed away peacefully on December 30, 2019. Leslie was born in Glasgow, Scotland on April 14, 1932 to Anges and Fred Woodward, and was the younger brother of Alice and Frieda. Leslie grew up in Glasgow where he pursued a career as a Chartered Accountant, which lead him to Barbados where he met the love of his life Patricia Watson. Pat and Les married on May 14, 1960 and emigrated to Canada in 1962. Leslie is survived by Pat, his children Rosalind Kay and Graham Leslie (Heather), six grandchildren – Melanie (Kevin), Tara (Steve), Cole, Cooper, Alex and Jaime, and 3 great grandchildren – Jackson, Carter and Hudson. He was predeceased by his parents, siblings and his eldest daughter Debra Lynn. In his youth, Leslie was an avid football and tennis player and was known as a vocal and energetic observer of all sporting events, particularly those of his children and grandchildren. He also enjoyed other activities such as Bridge, music, fishing, camping, bathing in the sea and a wee dram of scotch. Leslie will be forever remembered for his wit, clever humor, and dedication to his family. A celebration of Leslie’s life will take place at a later date.
Very sorry to hear of your loss Rosalind and Graham. I always remember his cheeriness and smile!
I’m so sorry to hear of Les’s passing. Our thought and prayers are with you. He was such a joyful and positive person- even when you guys were playing practical jokes!
Hi Graham,
I see where your active, outdoorsy, fishing side comes from. You might have inherited your love of numbers too from your dad.
On behalf of us all, we are sorry for your family’s loss.
Steve
Dear Pat and family, we are so sorry to hear of Les’ passing. He was such a kind man with a twinkle in his eye and always had a wee story to tell. Les was a wonderful help planning our trip to Scotland and setting up a luncheon with his best friends. I enjoyed working with him at VML and also enjoyed our visits with both of you after he retired. Our sincerest condolences. Leslie and Dave
