I grew up on Ridge Row and Les was my neighbour. As a little girl, my friends and I loved stopping by to see him. He always had lollipops ready for the neighbourhood children. He was always so glad to see the kids and so kind. When I moved back to Saint John a few years ago, it was wonderful to see the tradition continue when he called my son over to give him a lollipop. I've seen him out working in his yard for the past 40 years. The street won't be the same without him.
ON BEHALF OF THE ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION, BRANCH # 69 OF SAINT JOHN WEST, I WOULD LIKE TO SEND OUR LOVE, PRAYERS, AND HEART-FELT SYMPATHIES TO YOU ALL AT THIS SAD TIME OF LOSS. LES WILL BE GREATLY MISSED BY HIS MILITARY FAMILY AS WELL AS HIS OWN PERSONAL FAMILY. GOD NEEDED ANOTHER ANGEL FOR SERVICE AND SO HE HAD TO GO! MAY GOD GRANT YOU PEACE, CONTENTMENT, AND AS TIME GOES ON, MANY SMILES, AS YOU REMEMBER LES'S GOOD TIMES AND FOND MEMORIES OF THE PAST! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
Les was a very kind, generous and genuine person. We had the pleasure of knowing this special individual who was always very supportive in so many ways. He was rich in wisdom and life experience that was always so interesting and thought provoking. We are forever thankful to have been able to dialogue with him and enjoy his rare quality of excellent story telling! We will miss him dearly. Nathan and Rachel(Pamela Hovey's daughter)
Our prayers our sent out to the family - We will miss you on the street Les - No matter if it was rain - snow or sunshine "Mr Les" was always outside doing something and keeping busy... Our daughter Boots will miss her little treats that magical came out of the back end of your truck when we would walk by... You lived a good life however you will be greatly miss here... God Bless and Rest in Heaven. The Armstrongs.
So sorry to hear of your lost. Les will be surely missed. Loved listening to his stories of the past, & how he kept going. He always said "keep going dear, don't stop". He was a gentlemen, caring & giving. Thinking of you Les!!!!
