In the 15 years I had the privilege of knowing Les he was always willing to offer advise and or his time. We were both members of Colborne Masonic Lodge No. 91. Get Les and Proper Lepine together and the stories they could tell. Both have now put down their working tools but have left lasting memories and Friendships. I was fortunate to having Les as my Friend. So Mote It Be. Thanks for those memories. Gord

Cathy & Doug Galt - May 6, 2023

Greetings We are travelling and will not be home until May 27 th. This is ideed a difficult message to write. Les was a great supporter of both Cathy and myself. I particularly recall the quiet chats that we had on our Masonic travels. Those chats were in depth, inciteful, informative, meaningful and bring back so many great memories. Les contributed to his community and those in need in so many ways. In June, on our return we will pay a visit to Ann. With many special memories Cathy and Doug
