Not sure what to say?

Both Les and Iris were warm and curious people. We always appreciated their love of art, philosophy and culture and we explored those ideas over one of Leslie´s fabulous meals or our own. But I loved the deep sense of justice that Leslie felt and how he contributed to changing the world for the better. I also remember his easy laughter and joy. We miss them both.

Frederick and Irene met Leslie in France 27 years ago. Leslie thoroughly enjoyed history, culture and museums. Over the years he followed our family around the world. He was such a special friend to us as we shared many cherished moments together.
Please, Iris, accept our condolences, and just remember that we are here for you, please don't hesitate to reach out to us during this difficult time.
May dear Leslie rest in peace.
With all our sympathy and love.

We're grateful to have been able to spend time with Uncle Leslie, Iris...
