  4. Whether it was the backyard plum fights in the early days or right through to putting new shoes on the truck, Les had a determination and resilience that allowed him to deal with adversity better than most. Talk about ‘knocking off work to carry bricks’. It was a breeze doing it throughout most of his life. No one would have expected the heaviest bricks toward the end. A distinguished life full of incredible service and achievements. Rest peacefully Les. Love to Leonie, Adele and the extended family.

    From the FitzGeralds at the other end of Manifold Street.
