My Grandfather was a great man, very caring,loving and would do anything for anybody, even if he did not know you. I already miss him treamendously. He loved our family with all of his heart and I know that shows. He did anything to make us happy, He never was selfish, he was always giving and i will never forget that. He was like a second father to me and I am heart broken that he is gone. I wish he was still with us, telling us his jokes and making us laugh,but God took him for a reason and he is now at peace. I love and Miss you Grandpa Les and always will. Love Jill

I miss my Grandpa Les. When ever i went over to his house after school, he would help me with my homework. He always told me his jokes every time i came over to see him. I will miss him dearly.

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

All the best to Kate and the family. Les was a good man. I remember walking up to the store once with a nickel for some penny candy. When i had made my choice and went to the counter to pay, I discovered that the nickel had fallen thru a hole in my pocket. I was about to put the candy back when Les said "that's ok buddy, we'll square up next time, just don't tell Kate". That was the Les Holden that I remember.

My condolences to Kate and all the family. Les will sorely be missed in the community. He was a great neighbor, and always helped the fire company sell tickets at BBQ time. He also had a great sense of humor, and always cheered up the friends at Red's Garage, Or Croft's or the fire Station. My dad, Bob Bruce send his condolences also.
