 LES PARKES
Saturday 26 June 2010
It is with some regret that we announce the death of Les Parkes, one of local football's best loved characters of the last few decades
Les was a real stalwart of the local game who was probably best known as an unconventional, 'old school' referee and he'll be fondly remembered by all those who met him, especially his loving family and son, our very own Darrell Parkes
It's a great gift when, through mere presence, an individual is able to touch the lives of others. Les was just such a person- daft as a brush but loving, friendly and kind. I for one will miss the bear hugs we shared for 30 years plus!
Everyone who met Les will be better off for the experience, just as we hope Les is better off in his final resting place after a long and dignified battle with illness
Even Les Parkes couldn't win that one but Rest In Peace Sir Les- you will be fondly remembered by those of us lucky enough to have met you
Commiserations to Darrell, Viv, Rachel, Neil and the rest of the Parkes clan but the pain's over for him now!
Funeral arrangements to follow:
