To Auntie Joy, Sonia, Natasha and Darren. My deepest sympathies to you all. I am sorry I cant be with you today to farewell Uncle Les. The sound of his laugh will stay with me forever, and he will be having a big catch up with Ian, Neil and Mum. Cherish the memories as I will of a wonderful brother to Kathleen and a great uncle to us.
Sending my love to you all . Rest peacefully Uncle Les. Love Glenys

To Joy, Sonia, Natasha and Darren words can not express the sorrow for the loss of your lovely husband and dad. My memories are of wonderful holidays in the Sth Island, helping out in the kitchen at Redwoods and the most amazing birthday cake he made and arrived home to present to me. Tomorrow will be a challenge for you all personally as you say 'Goodbye' but your memories will never leave you. RIP Uncle Les. Love Sue xx

So sorry to hear of Les' passing. I remember well the most valuable contribution he made to the Richmond & District Pipe Band the huge "behind the scenes" work and the many ( very well catered) meetings I attended at your place and the good times down in Hanmer with you both!
Allison & I send our love to you all and treasure very fond memories of Les! Cameron Jensen
