It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved "Bill," William Edward Leslie at Royal Inland Hospital with his family at his side.

Bill was 76 years old and was born in "The Old Leslie House" at Lejac. He spent many years in the north before moving to Kamloops and finally residing in Logan Lake.

He is predeceased by his mother, father and six brothers and three sisters. Desperately missing him is his wife of 46 years Pat, and his four daughters, Valerie, Debbie, Wanda, Linda and their spouses. He leaves behind seven cherished grandchildren and three great grandchildren who were a tremendous source of joy for him.

Bill was well known for his sense of humor, and quick wit. He always said that family was the most important part of his life. He was a source of inspiration and joy, a wonderful father, both as a role model and a patient, loving, kind person. He will be greatly missed and lovingly remembered by all who had the hour of knowing him. He is forever in our hearts.

We would like to thank the wonderful nurses and staff at Royal Inland Hospital for their excellent care of him and support for his family while there.

A Memorial Service will be held for close family and friends on Saturday, July 7th, 2012 at 11:00 a.m. at St. Michael's Parish in Logan Lake with Father Ken officiating.

Should friends desire, donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Goodbyes are not forever,
goodbyes are not the end.
They simply mean we'll miss you until we meet again.
