To Maryanne so sorry to hear of the passing of Les. Alway enjoyed a chat with Les in Bell Block Supervalue while we owned it. Such a lovely guy he will surely be missed. RIP Les Rochelle and Brad
Les will be missed so much by us at the Fitzroy TAB. Les was always a gentleman and we enjoyed commiserating with him when he didn't win! Les, we have enjoyed your company over the last five or so years, may you back winners up above. Arohanui Mikaela, Karen, Lance & Marie - RIP
My love and thoughts go to you Maryanne and all of your family and I wish I could be there today. What a beautiful service for Les today, a real honour for a lovely man. He was always very kind to me. Lots of Love, Sharon xxx

To Mrs Baylis and family. So sorry to hear of your loss. Our thoughts are with you at this sad time. Regards Merleen,Sam and Jordan Cadman
Maryanne and family, So sorry about your loss. The first time I met Les was at Maryanne’s 21st Birthday party at Mums house in Stratford when he burst into the house like a whirlwind and I thought ‘ what the heck, or something else a bit more sweary. But I now realise that was about 50 years ago so I think to go on and spend the next 50 years together is a triumph. He was a one off, that’s for sure. Both Andy and myself are sorry we can’t be there for you all, but please be aware we are thinking of you all and will miss seeing him when we come over in the new year. I’m sure all the family will make sure you have a great send off for him and we’ll both lift a glass for him tomorrow. Love you all. XXX
