My sincere condolences to the Family. You sure learn alot about a person from their obituary! Leslie was a very busy, accomplished person. Our brief conversations at the Pharmacy surely did not tell the whole story. My thoughts and prayers to Rose Carolyn and family in their time of need.... Donna Chauvin (retired Pharmacist)

Rose Carolyn and family, The hard part of the journey is over for Leslie. He has fought the good fight and he has been called home. For all of you a portion of your fight is over, while another equally difficult one begins - healing, and adjusting one's life to a new reality without the physical presence of someone you have loved for a very long time. My prayer for all of you as you heal; that you might always know and feel God's tremendous love and grace around you. May you always know that you are never alone. May God bless you all. Rev. Darryl Levy

Rose Carolyn, Dottie told us about Leslie's passing last night at Sail Sets. I have fond memories of dancing with Leslie at MCCA and he advanced week-end. I know Don and I shared a meal with you two at one of these events. I found him so interesting to listen to, especially his stories on his square dancing experiences. He will be missed by everybody in the square dance world.

Rose Carolyn, Leanna and families. I am so saddened to learn of Les’ passing. I am so so sorry that I was unable to attend the funeral service for Les. Having just had back surgery last week, I am still not able to get “out and about”. I am sending prayers of strength and love as you travel through this difficult time with your loving family. May our God of all strength and comfort be with you now and forever.

So sorry to hear of Les passing but we know that the last few years have not been easy. Great memories of square dancing but he was in the A2 and beyond group ahead of us. He had patience and he and Rose Carolyn helped us out many times. We only knew them from dancing but reading the obituary diiscover all his accomplishments. A life well lived we would say.

This is very sad news and we send our condolences to Rose Carolyn, Leanna and the family. We treasure many wonderful memories of our years of square dancing with Les. How lucky we were to share 50 years of Maritime Conventions and many other special events! He was always a very competent dancer and a kind gentleman with an enthusiastic gleam in his eye. With our deepest sympathy, Dottie and Gary Welch

Leslie accomplished much in both his legal profession and his family life. When I called to speak with Rose Carolyn, Leslie usually answered. I would ask him how things were, it was his children he spoke of. He would list each and every one of them and tell me how they each had excelled in their chosen careers. He did not mention any of the honours he had achieved, just his family. He was so proud of them. He will be missed and always remembered for the man he was. Deepest condolences to Rose Carolyn, Derek. Graeme. Leanna and Galen. Much love Gayle and Klaus

To Rose Carolyn & Leanna and other family members Sending our deepest sympathies to all of you during this difficult time. Both of our daughters, Shellany & Shianne played ringette with Leanna and as parents we thoroughly enjoyed the company of Les and you as well Rose Carolyn. And to Leanna the team so enjoyed those delicious homemade Easter Eggs that you made for each player. The year that the team travelled to Ontario for the Nationals Les was a great help in contributing his wisdom and advice! So sorry to hear of his passing. Keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers - Pam & Rodney Brewer
