Mr. Leslie ‘Les’ Allan, beloved husband of Kerri Allan, lost his battle with cancer with his family by his side on Friday, June 26, 2015, at the age of 59 years. Les worked for Canadian Pacific Railway for 37 years and retired in 2010, but he couldn’t sit still so he took a job in safety management. He loved camping, puttering, rock & roll music, electronics and his dogs, Toby and Charlie. Les loved watching his children in all their activities and supported them in everything they did. He will be remembered for his dry sense of humor, quick wit and for his chuckle. Les was a wise man and a man of few words but when he spoke it was meaningful. Kerri and their family were his world! Les will be lovingly remembered in the hearts of his wife, Kerri; their children, Jennifer, Christopher (Laura) and their children, Jack and Harper; Michael, Lee-Ann and her daughter, Taya and his mother, Mary. He is also survived by his sisters, Glenda Fikowski, Wendy McLaren-Coslovich; brother, Dennis (Maryanne)?Allan; brothers-in-law, Brad (Shirley)?Hunter, Blair (Tammy)?Hunter and Joel (Shannon) Hunter as well as numerous neices and nephews. Les was predeceased by his father, Norm Allan; brothers-in-law, Larry Fikowski and Rocky Coslovich; Kerri’s parents, Don and Lorraine Hunter. The Funeral Service will be held at Cook Southland Funeral Chapel, 901 - 13 Street S.W., Medicine Hat, on Tuesday, June 30, 2015 at 3:00 p.m. The after party will be held at Whiskey Creek immediately following the funeral service. Memorial donations in Les’ name may be directly to the SPCA, 55 Southwest Drive S.W., Medicine Hat, Alberta, T1A 8E8, or to the Champion Centre, 435 North Railway Street, Medicine Hat, Alberta, T1A 2Z3.

How sad we feel as you try to endure your profound loss. It’s hard to watch those we care about struggle with their health. One thing that really helps is a promise in the bible, at Isaiah 33:24, where it says that soon there will come a time when no one living on this earth will say “I am sick” ever again. It’s what keeps us going personally, as we too, have lost friends & relatives. An unending, happy life in the paradise earth promised in Luke 23:43 will be a place and time where those we’ve lost will be brought back to life again. We hope this sure promise keep you going too. Take good care.

Kerri, My sincere condolences to you and your family in the loss of Les. I enjoyed working with Les over the years. He was always the kid at heart, turning on all my animated toys whenever he came into my office and that would always be when the phone rang. I remember him enjoying them as much as me and often think of him when they go off in my home. I hope you and your family find comfort in your memories of Les. Hugs to all of you! Carol

Kerri, Jen, Chris, Michael, Lee-Ann, Wendy and families,
We enjoyed and appreciated Les, whom we came to know, value, respect and appreciate during our days as neighbors on Turner Circle and in too many hockey rinks. We had lost touch since we moved from the Hat. Les will live on in our memories. Our deepest sympathies and please do take comfort in cherishing fond memories. Brian and Cami Bieber

Kerri, Jen, Chris, Mike, Lee-Ann,
Your husband and father was one of a kind. I have many memories of him that i will never forget. I spent many days at your household growing up and i seen first hand what a great husband and father he was. Even though i have not seen him since moving away, I will always remember his easy going and caring personality. I hope you all find comfort in your memories of him. He was taken way to early but is now in a better place. Please accept my condolences on behalf of me and my family.
