My sympathy at your loss of someone too soon. Les had overcome much and became a really good friend to my son, Brock. He was always respectful to me and enjoyed visiting. May happy memories fill your hearts.

Les you will be soooo missed,I'm still in shock & hurt for not coming to see u more often. I spent 9-years with you,you were there for my children which they just adored you,and Brent my youngest without you he probably would have never been a great hockey player or even played hockey at all if it wasnt for your encouragement. And our camping experience was great and my first and there's but they loved it. You brought lots of love & joy to there lives and they will miss you deeply I will miss...

Tremendous loss. Les was a thoughtful, loyal friend. I only knew him 6 years but it feels like I lost a family member. He spoke very highly of his first and only love, his daughter, Sam, whom I have not had the pleasure of meeting yet and his granddaughter. Honestly, we talked and were on the plan to take a small vacation to visit his loved ones. Les, I love you brother, g'nite. BTW, Avalanche won bro!!!!!
