Ruth, our thoughts and prayers are with you and the whole family with Les' passing. We were privileged to know you both as neighbors and friends since 1978. Les was always very kind and thoughtful to us and our children. He worked extremely hard, as a farmer,and also for his community in many ways. Many times he had a chuckle and relaxed manner when dealing with livestock / crops / gardening / trips across Canada / showing slide shows to my parents / and welcoming us to the local community / buying western cattle in the market and much more. We will miss him. It was wonderful to share in your wedding anniversary here last year, and to meet so many of your friends and also the extended family. Our condolences to you. Alan & Anne
