My sincere condolences to the Wardle family. I knew Les very well as we worked together at Canadian Pittsburgh Industries so many years. We were both around the same age so becoming friends was natural. He started as a glazier in the busy shop and I worked in the front office in paint sales. I moved to Edmonton in the late 60's however never forgot Les. He was one of those people that all who met him enjoyed is company. It is not often that individuals a person worked with some 60 years ago would be remembered so clearly in 2025 however Les indeed was one. My thoughts are with everyone of you and with Les on his next journey.
