Leslie Josephs

JOSEPHS, Leslie Ameen After a courageous battle with leukemia, Leslie went to be with his Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ on Monday, December 24, 2007, at home surrounded by his family, at age 71.

Leslie was an entrepreneur extraordinaire, a man of unquestioned integrity, had a great sense of humour and was loyal and devoted to his entire family and friends. He was a man of deep and abiding faith. As a new immigrant to Canada in the 1970's, he fought for the things that were important to him - his Lord, his family and his work.
