Les, you were my cousin-brother. I have such very happy memories of our growing up together. I miss you.

I used to love going to stay with Pauline and Les for the weekend when I was little. They always entertained me in the garden, there was always plenty of cake, and I especially remember a little purple clothes brush shaped like a lady, which I always used to hide for them to find. Looking back, I'm not sure how much they enjoyed the 'game', as it left them unable to find it, sometimes for days, but they were always very forbearing, kind and so generous with their time. Les never forgot a birthday, and when I got too old for birthday presents, he transferred his loyalty onto my children, right into their adulthood. Thank you Les, for all your faithful, gentle kindness.
With love from Anna

Les loved to visit Sussex and he and Pauline would come and spend a week with mum and me each year, enjoying Arundel, especially the antique shops looking for and buying old picture postcards, and riding the bus around the county. He always took the West Sussex Gazette to keep up with Sussex news. Both Les and Pauline were very creative, with Les making his own greetings cards with flowers they had pressed. Cycling played a big part of his younger days, and I am sure he cycled to Pulborough from Camberley.
