We met Les about twenty years ago when he was working for Forest exterminating company. My husband and I soon became friends with him. He was an extraordinary man, so guileless, sincere, honest and helpful. He was always so proud of his sons! I will miss you Les.....rest easy now and be at peace! Rose Pianin

October 27th was chosen as the day to have a celebration of Les' life because it is the date of his birth. Les had a quick smile and positive words to say to everyone. There is no greater character trait than kindness ... Les was a kind man. We hope that you will be able to attend the service for Les. Please leave a few words about Les, for his family. Those words mean so much to us. Please also make kindness a legacy Les has left for you ... and, pass it forward ... thinking of him, so he won't be forgotten. from Les' sister, Vicky Bridges
