We are extremely devastated to discover Les past 3 days after our visit. We shared a wonderful evening with fantastic hospitality. Homemade (Les) Meatballs, wonderful stories. Les even taught my son to make his famous old fashioned Lemon drink. Our thoughts are with you. So sorry we did not attend the funeral. Please get in touch.

Sorry I could not make the funeral. Les was always waiting for the call up to the All Blacks. I also had a lot of fun playing the music with him.
