Leslie was a handy kind of guy. He enjoyed fixing electronics of all kinds, from televisions to reel-to-reel projectors.

Leslie spent numerous years working on cruise liners and in the Public Works Department.

He enjoyed watching the television shows Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy, trying to guess the answers before the contestants did.

Leslie enjoyed the company of dogs and birds and the beauty of flowers. He will be remembered most for always having a joke to tell.
