I will never forget my dear friend Les. I had the pleasure of being his boss in the Pay Section (Supply & Service) Halifax. When I left that position, Les was promoted to it, and from there was promoted to his final job in Ottawa. 

Les also replaced me as Union President after I left Supply and Service. Les was very intelligent and knowledgeable and probably the dearest friend I ever had. I will never forget my dear friend LES!

Wow it has been 9 years and I still feels like it was yesterday you were taken from us. I was just remembering the time Carol and I dragged you to the Spa Nordik and I am pretty sure you would never admit it but you loved it. You were so relaxed and serene that day. You had said that night was the best night sleep you had had in years. I am so happy you got out of your shell long enough to enjoy a brand new experience! Miss you. Nancy

Thinking  of Leslie while his anniversary approaches -- So sad  - he was so young when he passed. 
Hope you two Nancy & Carol are doing well and have no health problems!!
May your Dad rest in peace ( and your Mom)

Love Uncle Darrell & Aunt Fiona  

HI Dad, it has been seven longs years since you've been gone and I miss you more and more each day.  The past two have been quite difficult and you were always that person standing in my corner propping me up when I would otherwise fall down.  I miss our talks and even our arguments probably because we never stayed angry for long.  'Til we meet again..............love Nancy.

Darrell & I were thinking of your Dad today on this the 6th anniversary since he passed.

Always think of him and you two Nancy & Carol on this day and his birthday.

Hope both of you  are finding the loss heals a bit with time. 

Roy often visits his grave and tells us when he is there -- though probably not this week-end, due to the terrible weather. 

Missed writing to you in April.  Nearly joined you earlier this year and was recovering.  As much as I'd love to see you, it is a bit too soon.  Thinking of you always.  Nancy

Hi Dad, I miss your smile and laugh.  This year is harder then previous years, not really sure why.  My thoughts are with you and of mum.  I'm glad you are together again, somehow that's very comforting to me.  You two may not have been life long partners but you were definitely life long friends. Merry Christmas and love you always xo xo

Nice words Nancy!! We were also thinking of your Dad on the 29th but as usual busy with our lives & didn't get around to posting this comment. I'ts so nice you keep up the guest book & that they send us notification if you put something on there.  Hope you and Carol are doing well -- Your Dad will always be remembered and never forgotten -- even tho' we don't connect too much - Love Uncle Darrell & Aunt Fiona (Darrell & Fiona Stackhouse - Toronto Ontario

Wow. Can not believe it has been this long. Some times it is like yesterday; others it is so far away.  Happy Birthday Dad. Hope wherever you are you are doing well and happy.  Fortunately time has allowed me to forget the sadness (mostly) of my lost.  Time has however also allowed me to remember and be able to speak fondly and without tears the wonderful impact you made on my life. Thank you for being there always. You put your kids first never thinking about the impact to youself.  Love you and as always miss you.

God took the strength of a mountain, 
The majesty of a tree, 
The warmth of a summer sun, 
The calm of a quiet sea, 
The generous soul of nature, 
The comforting arm of night, 
The wisdom of the ages, 
The power of the eagle's flight, 
The joy of a morning in spring, 
The faith of a mustard seed, 
The patience of eternity, 
The depth of a family need, 
Then God combined these qualities, 
When there was nothing more to add, 
He knew His masterpiece was complete, 
And so, He called it ... Dad
Happy Father's Day!

Fiona & I are thinking of you all with your Dad's birthday coming up on the 29th --So hard to believe he is gone!!!
I will miss phoning him as I always did on his birthday.

Uncle Darrell & Aunt Fiona

Nancy, Carol, Jim, I just came across this page and am so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing.  He was a good man who loved each of you very much.  My god bless you while both your parents guide you from above.

Nancy just saw your poem to your Dad it must be really hard at all times but especially at times like Father's day.

We're thinking of you and the rest of the family 
Aunt Fiona & Uncle Darrell.

You never said I'm leaving
 You never said goodbye
 You were gone before I knew it, 
 And only God knew why
 A million times I needed you, 
 A million times I cried
 If Love alone could have saved you, 
 You never would have died
 In Life I loved you dearly
 In death I love you still
 In my heart you hold a place, 
 That no one could ever fill
 It broke my heart to lose you, 
 But you didn't go alone
 For part of me went with you, 
 The day God took you home.

Nancy Carol & Jim & family - hard to believe 1 year has now passed - Your Dad will be fondly remembered by all of our family. 

We are thinking of you all !!
Fiona Darrell (Stackhouse)  Ian & Lisa & families.

Dad,
A thousand words won't bring you back, I know because I've tried; neither will a million tears, I know because I've cried.

Having been introduced to Les by a mutual dear friend, Ray Comeau, I soon learned of his savvy business acumen, and, sharp wit!  Sincere condolences to Nancy, Carol, Jim and his brothers.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Carol, Jim and Nancy at this sad time.

Our condolences to the Stackhouse family at this very difficult time.

My deepest sympathies to the Stackhouse family.  He will be missed by many.

My condolences to the family. I remember Les from the McCarvill farm when we were young. I was probably the only girl that stayed at the farm (to help Grandma in the kitchen). But Les would allow me out with the boys to ride on the tractor and play in the fields, and I have always remembered him for that. Les was kind enough to reconnect with me at my dad's passing (his uncle Celes). May all of his family keep fond memories of him.
Nancy Ritchie (cousin)

Please accept our sincere sympathies and wishes for light and love at this most hardest of times.  We both worked with Les and had many, many laughs with him about work and life.  He was a very smart man who helped us many times throughout our careers.  Thanks for all the fun Les.  You will be missed!

My deepest Condolences to the family. Les was my boss for many years and we had many laughs together. Les is someone I will always have the fondest memories of.

 Donna Potter

Dear Nancy & Family
Our very deepest sympathy goes to you and your family at this very difficult time.

Ray and Judy Dagg

My sincerest condolences to the Stackhouse family. I had the pleasure of working with, and on occasion socializing with, Les for many years. Les was a glass-half-full kind of guy, always a smile, and quick with the wit. I will cherish the memories.

Nancy, Carol, and Jim,
I was dumbstruck when I happened across this news yesterday, after all these years.  I'm still not quite sure what to say. I think of you often, every time I drive past your old neighbourhood.  Even if we lost touch over the course of many moves and many years, I still miss you and your folks and the conversations we all had as teens in your kitchen.
I'm sure I can't imagine the strain you are all under now, but I would enjoy the opportunity to become reacquainted when the time is right.  Let me know.

Dear Nancy,Carol ,Jim and family,
  We are so sorry to hear of the passing of your dad. Words can not say how sad we feel nor how much Les will be missed.

                 Love 
                 Brother Garry
                 and wife Mary
                 (Les's friend)

My sincere sympathy to the Stackhouse Family. May you find peace knowing Heaven has another angel, & you all have a guardian angel watching over you all. Your in my thoughts & prayers.

So sorry to learn of your loss. Les was a pleasure to work with and always a breath of fresh air. May God bless his soul.

Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed, and very dear. 

Peacefully sleeping, resting at last,
His weary trials and troubles past,
In silence he suffered, in patience he bore,
Till God called him home to suffer no more.

My condolences to the Stackhouse family. Les and I worked together for many years. I enjoyed his company and his down east sense of humor and no nonsense approach to handling issues. I will remember him fondly.

Nancy
So sorry about the loss of your father. Thinking of and praying for you and your family during this time of sorrow.

To the Family of Les , 
I am saddened that Les has passed at such an early age. I worked with Les for many years up until his retirement. I first met him in the early nineties on a phone call he made to congratulate me for singlehandedly causing a system crash. Although his mannerism was at first gruff he was unable to keep that demeanor for long. It was obvious to me that underneath was someone with a good heart and a great sense of humour. I enjoyed all our conversations together over the next 16 years and he was a very funny guy indeed . He will be remembered well. My condolences to all of you on your loss.

Dear Nancy, Carol-Ann and Jim;
Our deepest sympathy goes out to all of you at this time. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Nancy, my condolences on the passing of your father.  My prayers are with you.

My very deepest sympathies to Les' family.  It was my pleasure to have worked with Les for many years.  He was such an amazing boss and friend. I am so very sad that he is gone at such an early age.  I have wonderful memories of Les which I will always treasure.

The legacy of six siblings, all male, spread from Nova Scotia to British Columbia has come to an untimely end. The five other brothers have sadly lost Leslie, the fourth born in a uniquely gendered family. Our paths have gone in many diverse directions through the years. Time has passed quickly with no thought there would ever be a a time with less than six brothers. But there is no constant in life, so with deep regret I say good-bye to my brother Leslie. Love, Roy

Nancy
Very sorry to hear of the passing of your father. Never an easy time, but please remember that you have a store of wonderful memories to draw on that will help sustain you while you go through this difficult time.

good bye old friend

 Dear Carol, Nancy, Jim : I wish to thank Carol for letting me know of the great loss of your father (and my dearest friend) Les. I first met Les when we both worked at Department of Supply and Services, in the Ralston Building in Halifax. Les  became a close colleague and my Vice President of  Union Local 80019 DSS Component of the PSAC. Later , I had the pleasure and honour, of having Les as one of my employees when I became a Pay Unit Supervisor. Les made my job much easier. After I left DSS, Les and I kept in touch , and Les was deservingly  promoted to my previous job at DSS and then shortly after that, Les was again  promoted  when he was chosen by Head Office ( Ottawa) to be A Senior Officer in  their Computer Pay Operation. Les and I shared some good times together, and then some tragedies as we both lost our wives to cancer .I will always remember Les as the best friend one could ever have. Les was always proud of , and loved, his children, Carol, Nancy and Jimmy ( and his late wife Janet .)

Nancy

My condolences on the passing of your dad.

My deepest Condolences to The Family of Leslie Stackhouse. Leslie&I worked together for 10 years(1968-1978) in Halifax. He was always a very kind person and a true gentleman. Keep the good memories of your Dad in your heart to help ease the pain.

Bernadette Landry

Nancy, Carol and Jimmy:
Please accept my condolences on the passing of your dad. I know what it feels like to lose a dad but the memories you carry with you will help to ease the pain.

My deepest condolences to Leslie's family and to his brothers, Darrell, Roy-Vinnie, Wayne, Gary and Harold. I am so sorry for your loss.
Darryl McCarvill

Dad - as you know I am not very good with words.

I'll remember the laughter
I'll remember the love
And when I look up
You'll be looking down from above.

In Life I loved you dearly
In death I love you still
In my heart you hold a place
That no one could ever fill

Love Carol

Dad - my heart breaks that you have been taken from us at such a young age. I love you so much and will miss you greatly. 
Love Nancy

Dad, the years have passed us and so much remains unresolved.  Just know that I have always loved you and am proud to call you my father.  I take solace in the fact that you are in a better place and undoubtedly you are re-united with your best friend Mom.  May you both be blessed by God.

ancy Carol, Jim and Family ;

So sorry to hear about your Dad - that was very sudden tho' we knew he was ill for sometime - Just sad that we didn't communicate with him for a while & that it happened so fast - We will be coming through to the "wake" probably on Thursday and will give our condolences in person. Will always remember his "quick wit " & his "hearty laugh" 
Love Fiona, Darrell Stackhouse & Family
