After 99 adventurous years, Leslie passed away in his sleep at 3:30 a.m. with family by his side. He was a World War II Veteran, peace activist, socialist and most importantly, loving father. Leslie was a home child sent to Canada by the British government to work as a farm labourer at the age of 10. With great courage and perseverance, he survived terrible conditions and made a success of his life. Survived by daughters, Marlene, Coleen (Herb), Barb (Henry), sons, Barry (Coleen) and Fred (Donna). Loving grandfather to cherished grandchildren, great-grandchildren and a great-great-grandchild. Leslie will be forever remembered for his generosity, sense of humour and storytelling. A special thank you to the compassionate and caring staff at the Atlantic Baptist Home with special thanks to Amber. The excellent support from Veterans Affairs Canada was also greatly appreciated. Honouring his request cremation will take place and there will be no visitation. Celebrations of his life will occur in the near future in many places throughout Canada. Memorials to the Cornwall Library would be appreciated. Arrangements entrusted to MacLean Funeral Home Swan Chapel. Online condolences may be made at www.macleanfh.com.
