Dear Leonie and family, with saddens we say good bye to Les.
Les had an infectious enthusiasm for life in which he expressed enthusiastically through his music. Les bought excitement, laughter, enjoyment and change to our days in which we all longed for.

We will cherish your memory, laugh at all the funny unexpected moments.
