father,grandfather, great
grandfather and an uncle.
He will be lovingly
remembered and

He is also survived by his niece Betty (Mario), Jack and Ken (Tammy) as well as several other family members. Les was predeceased by both his parents, Elizabeth and Henry, his wife of 51 yrs Fay and his eldest daughter Debbie, as well as his sister Doris. Les was born March 12, 1939 in
Vegreville, Alberta. He stayed in Edmonton working in a
grocery store and then as a milkman and married Fay
in August of 1958. In the late 1960's, they moved to
Vancouver where he took a mining course and began his life long career in the world of open pit mining.
Once Fay had relapsed with cancer, Les retired and
they spent their time traveling across Canada and
spent numerous winters in Yuma, making many friends.
