Leslie DOWNES Obituary

Dianne and family, So sorry for your loss at such a young age, Michael and I are thinking of you. We were away so we were not able to attend the service, much love Michael and Grant

Uncle Les, you will be missed so much.
Your kindness, infectious laugh and never ending caring attitude to family and friends was amazing.
You certainly were one in a million and you will live on in our hearts forever.
I will never forget the fun times I had when I visited your home as a child.

Say Hi to Dad and Mike for me.

Love you.

Thinking of you all at this very sad time of Les Passing. I have fond memories of Les in the good old soccer days, and in Real Estate and selling our family home. Real Gentleman

Very sorry to hear of the passing of Les, he was a special man, and a great friend to my father Paul (Bungy). Condolences to the family.

So sorry, Michelle, to see that your Dad has passed away. The most honest, helpful and diligent Real Estate Agent that we ever had the privilege of dealing with

Very sorry to hear of Mr Downes passing. Much aroha to the family, from your old neighbours at Somerset Cres. Jo Gurnick and Jillian Carson x

Very sad to see that Les has passed away. Played cricket with Les for the Palmerston Cricket Club during the 60s. A great sportsman lovely guy.

Just a great guy. With different selection policies he could have played for New Zealand. I remember his fiery red hair, his Leyland, his patience and his tremendous loyalty. Fun times playing skittles on rainy days at Manawaroa, club cricket and profiting from his life advice as a trusted mentor. Cannot be there but wish I could. Deepest sympathies to his family and the Palmerston CC family on the loss of Les.
