So sad in hearing that Les had passed.  My deepest condolence to you, Marguerite & Family.
I worked with Les at Highland Valley Copper about 18 years ago.  Seeing his picture, brought warm memories; of him & working at the mine.  He was always cheerful, had stories, and enjoyable to work with.  He was one of the people that made going to work fun.
Take care of each other; cherish his memories.  My deepest sympathy.

My deepest condolences to the Stewart family. Les always had a story to tell. He was always so friendly and had a wonderful sense of humour. 

Oh so many memories I have. Growing up and exploring Uncle n Aunt's backyard playing hide-go-seek, finding lost treasures in the jungle. Swinging to the moon on the swing set, was a world of wonder. Uncle Les always having to stake down the swing set because of us reaching for the moon. Or yelling at us if we climbed over the fence into the alley. Not understanding that he was just being protective because of vehicles and not bein able to see us. Yelling at us to stay away from the river. Being that bigger than life giant while giving hugs when needed.  Ronald n I spent many of our childhood down at Uncle n Aunty's home, drooling over homemade waffles n pancakes. Priceless memories that are forever. Love n miss  always. Love Tania  

Date Squares and my brother Les. 
My big brother had a huge fondness for date squares, such a huge fondness that the could find them no matter where mom would hide them. Every year for Christmas mom would make a big batch, fill a dutch oven (large pot) and hide it. When Les would arrive home from an evening out he would find it, sit down and with a jug of fresh milk sit down and enjoy his midnight snack of at least a half a dozen or so. Then put the pot back, this would go on over the lead up to the holidays, so when mom would get the pot out to put some on a platter for us to enjoy, well to say the least the pot was a bit lighter and emptier then when she hid it. Always a good laugh, and such a fun memory of my brother. Oh and by the way, he would never find the one pit in the whole pot, that was me, when ever I had a date square I would get the one pit out of the whole thing. RIP dear brother!

Rest in peace Les.

I think you were the first sibling Bonnie introduced me to when she brought me to meet the family. She showed a great deal of respect for you and as I got to know you, that respect transferred to me too.

You carried the quiet respect you inherited from your namesake father that came from a lot of experience. That image still sticks with me these many years later and I join the family in mourning the loss of a great man. - Roger


So very sorry for your loss. Your dad was a lovely man and always a pleasure to visit with. Hugs to all.

Much of my childhood memories include my Uncle Les and Aunt Marguerites home. My cousins were never in short supply when it came to their home. Always welcoming, always memorable, always with a snack or a meal to follow the shenanigans. 
Fortunately, before Uncle Les passed  I was able visit. Specifically I wanted to tell him what wonderful memories his home had provided to me. How thankful I was for his family.  What an amazing family home  he allowed me to experience as a child. How it absolutely rounded out my life experiences while my family visited Merritt from Kamloops, so many years in a row. Uncle Les and Aunt Marguerite never seemed to tire of children’s company. Always ready to welcome.
I will be forever grateful to have had the time to express to my Uncle how important the home he built, and the family he created was to me. 
The morning he passed, before I knew he had passed,  I was in a park with my daycare children. In the woods I heard the snap crackle and pop of twigs. It turned out a doe was watching us. For a good half an hour she walked around, feeding on the bushes and grass. It wasn’t till I was told of my uncles passing, that the morning really felt special. 
I do not live very close to any family. So for me, family is not just something. It is everything❤️ 
My sincerest condolences to my Aunts and Uncles. To Charles, Dawn, Anne, Yvette, Cora, and Rose. I am so sorry for your loss.💔

I asked Uncle Les if he had a quote for life what would it be.....

“People who smile,  will never smile alone”
Charles Leslie Stewart

Growing up with the Stewart family was filled with so many great memories. Mr Stewart always included all the kids who walked through his door as one of his own. He will be missed but the momories we have will always be cherished.
