MADDIGAN, Leslie Jr. (Les) — passed peacefully away in the arms of his daughters, at Hoyles-Escasoni Complex, on July 6, at the young age of 63.

Les will be deeply missed and always remembered by his two loving daughters Marilyn Maddigan (Michael) and Lesley Anne McRae (Craig) and grandson “Pop’s Boy” Connor McRae. Lovingly supported by Bernice. Six sisters and two brothers celebrate Les’s life; Helen Hooper (Wayne), Jean Ford, Matilda Maddigan, Margaret Crocker (Wilfred), Marie Pelley (David) and Shirley Chislett (Eldred); Bob Maddigan and Dave Maddigan (Marie).
