We met on your travels to Glebe Weir and loved having our daily chat and laugh with you both.
Les lived life to the full, whether it was catching red claw in the boat, fanning the fire with the blower to make it burn or feeding the birds titbits.
We have many fond memories
Lots of love

Dad,
None of us got to say goodbye; None of us were prepared for this. Covid prevented us from visiting as planned in 2020, and ever since, forcing our visiting plans to be put on the “date unknown” schedule. Unfortunately now we won’t even get one last visit with you. So heartbreaking for all of us. You will forever be in our hearts and our memories will last a lifetime. Thanks for being the greatest dad.
Love Cheryl, Chris and Sarah …..and Ruby who won’t get any more toast at breakfast time from you xxxxx
Dear Elaine and family our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this sad time
