In lieu of a Celebration of Life please take a few moments to recall a fond memory of Les. Les loved to make us laugh; oh the stories we have. Les would prefer to be remembered with laughter and not tears.
So sorry for the loss of Les in the world he will be enjoying to be reunited with his parents and his good friend David Klassen they had a special friendship.
Best instructor I ever had!
Beautiful Man!
Our condolences Nita to you and your family. Les was a kind gentle soul and friend . Our thoughts are with you.

I remember our time spent together at Sanoviv – Les & Emery joking & laughing. Your anniversary dinner & carrot cake. I am glad we were able to meet & connect there and to keep in contact these many years later
Nita, we just learned of Lester’s passing. We are so sorry for your loss.
(((HUGS))).
Sending lots of love! I will always remember Les and his enjoyment of the fish we brought and how much he enjoyed the cheesecake.
Dear Ott Family,
We are so sorry for your loss of Les.
The Heintz Family
I chummed around with Les during my time in Alberta. After leaving both Les and Nita visited me in Ottawa and Baltimore. A true blue, good guy. He will be missed.
We have been thinking of you Nita and your family over the past few days and remembering Les as a remarkably intelligent, funny, loving and caring person. We will miss him.
An early recollection of Lester was one day he chose to bike from Canterbury to Nackawic with Tom and I. We didn’t get to talk much on the journey but I enjoyed his company and brief comments. I don’t remember the year, only that we were all much younger back then!
Our heartfelt condolences to Nita and family. I remember many happy visits to the Ott farm in Tenby in my childhood…so much fun and maybe a little mischief, playing with Wes and Rick in the woods, fields and barn.
Thinking about you and your beautiful family, Nita.
