Condolence: Dear Ruth and family,

Dave and I were greatly saddened to hear about Les' passing. Elora has lost an outstanding citizen and we have lost a great neighbour. It will be very strange to pass by the house and not see the tractor and plow in the garage.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and yours during this time.

Thoughts and Prayers at this sad time. The Bailey Family.

Condolence: My deepest Sympathies to Ruth and all of your family during this most difficult time. I will remember Les for his dedication to the local Plowmen's Associations and the Ontario Plowmen's Association. It was always so nice to say hi at the Conventions and IPM's each year. Thinking of you...

Condolence: Dear Ruth, how could words express our sorrow for you and Les. We were so lucky to have him as long as we did, and yet, we wish we all could have had him longer.

Please be comforted in the arms of your beautiful family, and be warmed by that special place in your heart that Les will always live in.

Best wishes from all of us at the Wellington County Plowmen's Association.

Condolence: 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

Condolence: I will always be grateful for having met Les and Ruth at Elora United Church when I was a younger father. They were very welcoming and always checked in on how our family was doing. The kindness will not ever be forgotten! Rest peacefully- sincerely David Oates, Christine Dunlop, Alix, Quynn, Rainen and Jake
