Leslie (Les) Parsons
1948-2020
It is with great sadness that the family announce
the passing of Leslie (Les) Parsons on Sunday, July 12, 2020, at the
Saint John Regional Hospital after a brief illness. Born on October
29, 1948, he was the son of the late Eric and Leila (Newell)
Parsons.
Les was an athlete who loved playing and watching softball,
baseball, hockey, and soccer. He was a two-time inductee into the
Oromocto and Area Sports Wall of Fame. He was proud of his long
career, having worked for Bird Stairs for 42 years. But
mostly Les will be remembered as a man who loved his family and
friends, and for his wonderful sense of humour and gentle
teasing.
Les will be deeply missed by his wife of 45 years, the woman
he devoted his life to, Debby (Laskey) Parsons. He will leaves behind
a large extended family and many friends.
A Celebration of Life will be held at the Oromocto Funeral
Home on Friday, July 17, 2020 from 2:00 – 4:00 pm with an
interment following at the Oromocto Pioneer Gardens Cemetery. For
those who wish, donations can be made in Les’ name to the
Heart and Stroke Foundation, the Canadian Diabetes
Association or a charity of the donors choice.
