It is with great sadness that we share the passing of, Leslie ‘Les’ Gordon Wood on July 9, 2025 at Brightshores Health System, Owen Sound, at the age of 90.
Beloved husband of the late Georgina. Loving father of Julie (Chris) Cochrane, Nancy Lipsett, Kevin (Paula) Wood and Lesley Wood. Predeceased by his daughter, Christie Wood. He will be fondly remembered by many grandchildren and great grandchildren. Cherished by many cousins, nieces, nephews and friends.
Les spent most of his life in the Grey County area and enjoyed many adventures along the way, from skidooing to cards, Les worked hard and played hard. He was an incredible talent, a Jack of All Trades, having skills from carpentry to stone masonry. He had the unique ability to envision a home from the ground up and the skillset to make that vision come to life. He paid great attention to detail, from the items he crafted to the care and dedication he had for those he loved. Les was an avid gardener and incredible cook, bringing the produce he grew into a delicious meal for all to share. He was self-sufficient, gracious, kind and caring. He loved music and people, he made friends everywhere he went. His calm demeanour and incredible sense of humour will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
Family and Friends will be received for a visitation at Fawcett Funeral Cremation Reception, 1 Highland, Flesherton on Tuesday, July 15th from 10am until the service time at 11am. A luncheon to follow. Les will be laid to rest at the Lakeview Cemetery at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or charity of your choice.
