MR. LESLIE CHARLES COYLE of Lethbridge, beloved husband of Helen passed away peacefully at home on Sunday, January 10, 2010 at the age of 88 years.

Leslie was born on January 20, 1921 in Lethbridge and attended Westminster and LCI schools. Leslie served in WWII in Borden, England and Italy and returned in 1945 to meet his sweet heart Helen. They married in 1946, celebrating 64 years together and resided in the same War time home since 1948. Lasting friendships were formed with the neighbours. Leslie worked at Lethbridge Dairies and retired after 36 years of dedicated work. His hobby was fishing with brothers Gordon and Bob. He was a life member of the Army, Navy and Air Force Veterans Club.

Besides his beloved wife Helen, Leslie is survived by his son Lorne (Donna); grandchildren Stacey (Dave), Pamela (Gary) Sherri and Jason and Donna's children Paula (Doug), Karen (Danny) and Stuart (Wendy); great-grandchildren Emily, Connor, Sydney, Madison, Travis, Tyler, Cameron, Kelsey, Diana, Chelsea, Brooklyn, Lexy and Elizabeth; and brothers Bob and Gordon. Leslie will be sorely missed by nieces Laureen (Len) Tetzloff, Joy Kirkham and Verna (Greg) Kazakoff and other numerous nieces and nephews whom were very special to him. He is predeceased by his parents Rose and Charles Coyle as well as two sisters-in-law Betty Coyle and Jean Coyle.

The family would like to send a special thanks to Dr. Billett for years of caring and to the wonderful home care girls.

The Lord called home a very quiet loving gentleman who cared for everyone he met.

A private family graveside service will be held at a later date.
