Hi Beer family,
It was only yesterday that I learned of Leslie“s passing.
I have many memories of your dad at the coal mine, we spent a lot of time together operating earthmoving machines. In all that time I never once saw him angry, he was so even tempered, Les was Les continuously. He was the best machine operator that the mine ever had. We had a get together not all that long, it was very enjoyable..He was vey generous with our family in yesteryear, he invited us to go camping with him and you his family, even net fishing at Blue cliffs. We loved it.
There is much more I could write about him.
For now all the best.
Brian and Helen HIghsted.
