He peacefully passed away at the QE II Hospital, Grande Prairie, Alberta, on July 15, 2015, at the age of fifty-eight. Dad spent his colorful childhood years on the Whispering Hope Farm near DeBolt, Alberta. Dad accepted the Lord as his personal Savior in his teen years and was baptized, becoming a member of the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite, at the age of fifteen. He was passionate about his faith and instilled a love for God and the Church into his family through many spiritual discussions and by living what he believed. On February 8, 1981, Les was married to me, Cheryl Reimer, at Crooked Creek, Alberta. We shared thirty-four beautiful years together, and we were blessed with one son and four daughters. Dad had a special interest in his family and knew the individual traits and personalities of each of his children and grandchildren. Dad lived out-of-the-box and was a man of numerous talents. After graduating from Ridgevalley School, he was a framer, brick layer, and stone mason for several years. Dad began teaching at age twenty. he used his many interests and unorthodox teaching methods to create fond and unforgettable memories for himself and his students. Dad and Mom purchased Uncle George's farm and raised chickens for a number of years. He began a monument business where he could be creative and at the same time lend a listening ear and words of comfort to the bereaved. As his family grew, he added a sign shop and the Tomcat systems. Dad was an inventor, always working on something no one else had thought of. Dad served the community, spending ten years on the DeBolt Fire Department. Through his business and service, Dad formed many precious, lifelong friendships. Dad was a man of wisdom. He was a counselor to his family and others, whether it was in the financial, social, or spiritual area. He was involved in many church projects and gave his time willingly. In all this, Dad was a man of modesty, always generous and considerate. We will miss Dad's unique chuckle; however, it was time for him to depart this life. Dad truly lived Romans 12:12 during the last year of his life. He lived in hope, was patient in tribulation and constant in prayer. His wish would be for all of us to join him in Heaven. Dad was predeceased by one granddaughter, his parents, a nephew, parents-in-law, one sister-in-law and one brother-in-law. Left with precious memories are his wife, Cheryl; children: Tyler and Sandra Bignold, Crooked Creek, Alberta; Mandy and Curtis Boese, Heart Valley, Alberta; Myra and Terry Thiessen, Shauna and Don Wiebe, and Robyn, all of Crooked Creek, Alberta; and nine grandchildren.
