Died 5th February 1995
Age 59
Occupation Upholsterer
Lived in Windy Nook

Les my dad lived in Windy Nook with his wife Betty, they have 2 children Helen and Ian and 1
granddaughter Sarah.
My dad was taken from us after suffering from cancer, he fought his illness for 18th month with
great strength, and dignity and was an inspiration to us all.
Les my dad was such a wonderful person, we always knew he was there for us helping us in anyway he
could and always giving good advice, even though we didn't want to listen sometimes! we knew he was
always right.
He worked hard all his life making sure our family life was good, he died 6 weeks before his 60th
birthday and retirement. (What a waste, couldn't even enjoy the time off he deserved).
I can't really put into words how i feel about my dad he was just loved so much and i think about
him and miss him every day. Sarah his only grandchild wasn't quite 2 when he died and they have
both missed out on a lot, he adored her so much, he had so many plans for her and the days out they
were going to have was never ending.
I just wish he was still here just so he could see her now and see how wonderful she is, but i know
he'll be with us forever always protecting us.

Dad you are always in our thoughts and hearts we love and miss you so much xxxxxxxxx
