Uncle Les lived his life with the strength of independence, a generous heart and a gift for sharing captivating stories with humour and enthusiasm. He travelled from Mount Imus and Summerfield, Jamaica to settle in Detroit, Michigan where he developed many close friendships and enjoyed his Bakery career with A&P and Sanders. After retiring, Palm Bay, Florida became his home. He took pride in tending his beautiful gardens and welcomed many celebrations of laughter and camaraderie. On Tuesday March 21st, 2017, Leslie Chin peacefully entered into God's Kingdom while under the compassionate care of Holmes Regional Medical Center following residency at Atlantic Shores Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Melbourne, Florida.

Predeceased by brother Morris, Cecil and sisters Enid, Eunace, Inez and Mavis. Uncle Les' angelic voice can still be heard singing: "It is well" and "May the Lord be with you, 'til we meet again".

Leslie,
We will always love you dearly. Each of us has our own special memory of you. You gave us all a glimpse into living a meaningful life with simplicity and grace. I believe your favorite saying to us while growing up was "C'est La Vie" and for us the translation was "don't sweat the small things". You will be sorely missed and remembered forever......
We love you........
Vi Lilly and Beverly Sanders
