• Leslie (Lingsong) for those of us who grew up with you. While in Jamaica I visited George Forrest in St Mary. He asked me if I heard that Leslie had passed away. Now I'm back in Canada I searched the Internet and found out that yes Lingsong was not with us anymore. Yes we grew up together with Auntie Mary, Mass Author, Myrtle and Vee. Lost touch with him for more than fifty years. However, about five years ago I was in St. Ann (Balance Spring area) where I tracked him down. I pulled up in front of the house got out of the car knocked on the door and he opened the door didn't recognize me so I told him who I am. Well the arms were wide opened that smile that we all knew was there the hugs it was all there. Yes it was truly a moment in my life that I will never ever ever forget. I promptly reminded him of the kindness he offered me as a youngster that paved the way for my future. Of course he said he didn't remember that. Moat people who offer kindness to others don't remember because the do it without thinking. But I remembered!! Leslie you were truly a great person and I know God has blessed you and you family. We missed you but you will always be in our hearts. Rest in peace my brother. JEW - Posted by: Joslin Walker (JEW) (Friend) on: May 20, 2019

• We had known Effie since 1964. Then the big day arrived: Leslie James was coming to Winnipeg in the summer of ‘65. Wes Mills, Allen Zelmer and myself went to the airport to pick up our Jamaican friend. We knew what he looked like. Peggie had shown us pictures of him. No wonder she claimed him! A fine looking catch! To meet Les was to love him: that was his warm personality. We went to the Mills' residence where his future bride was waiting. It was a lovely reunion. We attended their wedding. We’d never tried curried goat before. It was good. You wanted to try his Mama’s wedding cake-soaked in rum for six weeks. She lovingly sent it all the way from Jamaica. That was an unforgettable flavour. We got to be fast friends with Les and his family. The greatest delight he had attending were the Christian meetings at the Kingdom Hall. We last saw Les and Peggie last summer, which makes that visit more precious now. Sleep well, Les, for it won’t be long, when you’ll hear Jehovah’s call and you will answer. But, you’ll have no pain and no illness. Everything will be made new. (Isaiah 33:24. Revelation 21:3,4) - Posted by: The Bergmans, John and Peggie (Close friends) on: Mar 03, 2019

• Dear Peggy; I am very sorry to hear of Les' passing. My condolences to you and yours. I will miss my chats and laughs with Les in my back yard. When I plant my garden this year, I will be thinking of him, as whenever he would visit me, my garden was the first thing he spoke about. He always made my day whenever I saw him. I will miss his infectious smile and sense of humour. Have faith Peggy, You and Les will be together again. Sending my blessings to you and your family. - Posted by: Kay and Harri Persaud (Friends on Hay Street) on: Mar 01, 2019

• Someone so special can never be forgotten. I worked at Federal Pioneer/Pauwels Canada (Human Resources). I had the pleasure of knowing Les for over seven years and remember the day he retired. Les was a true gentleman; well respected by his coworkers and peers, a hard worker and a man who truly loved his wife and family. Les had a warm smile and gentle heart and when he spoke about his family it was always with pride and joy. Please accept my sincerest condolences, - Posted by: June Wiebe (coworker) on: Mar 01, 2019

• Dear Peggy and family, I was so sorry to hear of Leslie's death. I have many happy memories of this fine gentleman and was privileged to be at his and Peggy's wedding. I live far away in England but I think of that lovely wedding every time I am fortunate enough to taste goat curry which was on the menu at the wedding. It was the first time I had tried anything remotely like it and found it delicious! I will think of you all on Friday and look forward to the day when all of Jehovah's promises will be fulfilled and "no resident will say 'I am sick'" - Posted by: Marnie (Eckmire) Bone (Friend) on: Feb 27, 2019
