DONALD JAMES LESLIE On August 4, 2015 Donald Leslie passed away at the age of 78 at Bethania Personal Care Home. He leaves behind his loving wife and sweetheart of 57 years, Shirley Leslie (nee Yaworski); two sons, Blair Leslie-Toogood (Adrienne), Shawn Leslie (Kim); his daughter Shannon Leslie; and four grandchildren, Nicholas, Manhattan, Justine and River. Don will also be greatly missed by numerous friends and extended family. Don was a very kind and quiet man, and spent his 38 year career with CNCP Telecommunications. He volunteered with many organizations over the years and always believed in helping others. In accordance with his wishes, cremation will take place and no formal funeral service will be held. He will be laid to rest outside his family's cottage, which was his favorite place to be. Don did not believe that death should be a time for sadness, but rather a celebration of a person's life. The family would like to thank the staff in the North Nursing Station at Bethania for their kindness, care and compassion. In lieu of flowers, please donate to a charity that was of significant importance to Don: Winnipeg Harvest, Rossbrook House or The Winnipeg Humane Society. "Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where our loved ones shine down and let us know they are happy". Daddy we will miss you deeply, and may you rest in peace until we meet again.
