Leslie A. "Les" Shaffer

1940 - 2025

Leslie A. "Les" Shaffer, 85, an Egypt Road, Brockway, PA resident, died on Thursday, November 27, 2025, at the DuBois Nursing Home.

Born in Hazen, PA on September 14, 1940, he was the son of the late Fred A. and Pearl Irvine Shaffer.

Retired, Les had been employed at Brockway Pressed Metals. He was a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and was deployed and took part in the Cuban Missile Crisis. Les was a member of the Warsaw Sportsmen's Club and the Beechtree Beagle Club. If ever there was a simple man that lived a simple life, it was Les. He enjoyed visits with family and friends, and kept himself busy working on his farm and the upkeep that comes with farm machinery. He enjoyed fishing and hunting, especially rabbit hunting with his foxhounds and beagles.

Les is survived by a sister, Linda Armstrong of Brockway; a brother, Samuel Shaffer of Hazen, and several nieces and nephews. He is also survived by Lawrence Paul (Sue) Shaffer of DuBois, PA. Les's parents became guardians of "L.P." at a very young age, and he has affectionately been looked at as a cousin/brother all of his life.

In addition to his parents, he was also preceded in death by two infant brothers, Donald and Devere Shaffer.

Visitation will be on Monday December 1, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Shugarts Funeral Home Inc. in Brockway, and again from 1-2 p.m. A funeral service will immediately follow at 2 p.m., also at the funeral home with Pastor Kelly Trozzo officiating. Burial will be in the Temple Cemetery at Hazen.
