To all the Forsyth family, our deepest condolences.
Les was such a wonderful caring and kind man who loved to have a chat and catch up. Our family have wonderful memories of visiting the family farm on Nopera Road when Les´s parents were farming there and Les would have only been a kid. Les was a regular visitor to our dad (George Barlow) especially when we lost our mum. You are one of a kind Les may you rest in peace and sending our love to all your family.
Dianne (née Barlow) and Daryl Christensen

So very sad to hear about Les. John and I appreciated all of his knowledge, support and help when we owned Ashbrook at Urenui. There was always a very robust discussion on most things and always a laugh over a coffee. He was always a very kind man, who became family to us. It will be easy to smile over those many happy memories. Cheers, Linda White, Urenui

To Lorraine and Family, thinking of you all today as you farewell your best mate. I will miss seeing Les as I ride up the hill on my way to work. He was always there with his big smile and a wave. We remember fondly ambushing him last new years to come and help with our topiaries. Hold on tight to your memories and each other. Rest in love Les!

A very kind man who enjoyed Family,Friends and People.
Les could talk for hours leaving me Speechless at times.
A decent cup of Tea and a piece of Fruit cake went down well with Les.
He was often found lacking the cream off the wish and finishing off the Custard.
Les was often found by the Sink doing the dishes, this was his Domaine. Nearby hung a Tea Towel dated 1968.
Why buy and waste money , use up what you have ,was what he said.
Les enjoyed Gardening and was often found with Hedge Clippers in his hand.
Sadly missed
