Les was in alot of pain at the end. He's at peace now after a brave fight that he truly expected to win, just like Les would. God Bless Les and deepest Simpathy to all of Les's family. A True Hawk Rest In Peace

Re: Les Kearton
I knew Les for around 7 yrs or so and can honestly say it was a pleasure knowing him. Tragic loss for his family and friends.
RIP Les

Re: Les Kearton
My deepest condolances to Les's family
I served with Les in the XXth he was a smashing lad, tough as old boots but he had no airs and graces just one of the guys who got on with it.

Re: Les Kearton
I am glad to say I got to serve with Les quite a lot and got to know him best during our time at Catterick.
A great guy with a lovely sense of humour and although I rarely saw him after 1992 I have nothing but the fondest memories of him.
R.I.P. Les & my condolences to his family
