It is with deep sorrow that I have to inform you that our dear Les passed away earlier today.
I know that all of you who met and got to know him so well as both a writer and a friend will be very sorry to lose such a bright star from our midst. As you will know he just wanted to be with his beloved Joan who died in 2012. Today they are being re-united.
Once details of his funeral have been released I will inform you by email,
God bless Les and may he rest in peace,
Dave.
