    You can shed tears
    that he is gone.
    Or you can smile because he lived.
    You can close your eyes and
    pray that he will come back.
    Or you can open your eyes and
    see all that he has left.
    Your heart can be empty because
    you can’t see him.
    Or you can be full of the love
    that you shared,
    You can turn your back on
    tomorrow and live for yesterday,
    Or you can be happy for tomorrow
    because of yesterday.
    You can remember him and
    only that he is gone.
    Or you can cherish his
    memory and let it live on,
    You can cry, close your mind,
    be empty, and turn your back.
    Or you can do what he would
    have wanted, smile, open your
    eyes, love and move on.

    Dear Les we go back a long time when we were kids. My father considered you as his son as me Susie and Judi considered you as a brother. We were so excited when Dad would say that we are going up to Wodonga from Melbourne. I always looked up to you and admired your practical outlook in life. I remember one year I was about 8 years old and you were 12 or so and we came up to Wodonga but you were in hospital as you had your appendix removed the day before. We went to visit you in Wodonga hospital and you wanted to come with us when we left. Your mum and my dad told you that you could not because you had surgery the day before and you must stay until the doctor discharges you. You were not happy. We went back to your home and my mother gave me 20 cents to go spend at the corner milk bar near your home. I came back with 5 icy poles. Before I could reach the driveway I was stopped by an older boy who lived across the road from you I think his name was Gustav. He demanded that I give him an icy pole which I was about to as he was 2 feet taller than me. I looked down Cheney street and I noticed someone running down the middle of the road coming towards us. As he got closer I realised it was Les and he was in pyjamas. He had escaped from the hospital. He asked if I was okay and I told him Gustav wants one of my icy poles. Les put on his angry face and looked at Gustav and he ran into his house without looking back. I was so glad he escaped. He never went back to the hospital because his mum knew he would just escape again. I miss you very very much Les and will always miss you. My sincerest condolences to Chris and Donna, Kylie, Wayne, Jodie and Billy-Jo.

    Dear Les I am so grateful to have been able to catch up with when I did. I remember you escaping out of hospital after you got your appendix out! I remember the times when you came down to Melbourne and drove me to see my boyfriend across the other side of town. Your outlook on life was at times comical but always practical. You will be greatly missed.
    Sincere condolences to dear Chris and family. With big love Judi and Istvan. ❤️❤️
