It was always a pleasure seeing you when you were in Calgary. You introduced me to the spiciest hot sauce I have ever had and I always think of you when I savour the heat. Thank you. God bless. Rest in peace kind Sir. - Posted by: Steve Virk (Friend and neighbour ) on: Apr 02, 2023

Even though it’s been a number of years since I’ve been in Les’ company, I recall his quiet, calm, gentle demeanor. He has the most beautiful smile that lifted you up and his picture above captured it perfectly. Les was a gift to all who knew him and my thoughts and prayers go out to his beautiful family. - Posted by: Debbie Whyte (Acquaintance ) on: Apr 01, 2023
