To Janet Shawn and Shane and Tara, and all the extended Pengelly family. My sincere condolences. Your Grandfather Les Pengelly will be dearly missed. He has certainly left this world a much better place than he found it. He left remembrance inspiration and motivation for all the good he stood for in his service to his family, Community and Country.

We are very proud of him and we will remember Les always.

Sincerely: Gary Miner (Duty Inspector – York Regional Police)

Janet and Shawn, Shane and Tara and family: Heart-felt condolences from Maureen and I. Your grandfather was a true gentlemen along with being strong voice and tireless worker for his community and those organizations he embraced such as the Richmond Hill Centennial Pipe Band and the Masonic Lodge. Through the Band, and the many different events he organized, we had the privilege of knowing Les for 30 years. We’re sure that Harry, John, Rodney and others welcomed Les up in heaven with a stirring March so everyone knew a great friend had joined them!

I will always remember Inspector Pengelly sitting in my Father’s old
office, formerly Office Specially, in Newmarket. He would be reading his paper and having his coffee, and as I would go by, he would always look out and say hello. He had a soft voice and was always eager to help new officers. I enjoyed work for Les and will always remember his kindness.

I offer my sincere condolences to his family.

R.W. Bro. Les Pengelly. They don’t make them like him anymore! His infectious laughter and cheerful nature has always brought joy to everyone’s lives. We know you will miss him terribly, and we miss him as much. We will continue to honour his memory. Les was a colleague and a brother. To call him a friend was a privilege. Sincerely and fraternally, on behalf of all Masons in Ontario, M.W. Bro. Donald A. Campbell, Grand Master.

Thank you for your many years of service to your country and communities.

We at Union Lodge # 118 will miss him and will cherish his memory in our hearts.
A great friend and brother to us all.
Our condolences to the family..

Les had a long time commitment to the Richmond Hill Centennial Pipe Band, Royal Canadian Legion #375, first as Drum Major and second as Band Manager. His contribution to the band’s success and welfare was outstanding and we all valued him as a friend and fellow band member.

Les was always coming up with ideas to improve the band, to challenge us to better performance or to enhance conditions for our practices and parades.

Les will be fondly remembered by all who knew him.

Janet, Shane, Tara, Shawn, your families, and friends, Francesca and I will dearly miss Les as a friend, band member, and mentor.

We offer our sincere condolences at this time.

We have many fond memories of Les and he will never be forgotten by both of us.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. I was extremely fond of Les as we had a lot in common being Grand Senior Wardens in Masonry — I consider him my mentor — and being involved in pipe bands. The world is a little sadder today.

What a wonderful man…his many years of service both for our country and at the Town of Richmond Hill did not go unnoticed. If more people had his ethics the world would be a better place.
He always had a smile and we had a good laugh when he came to visit the Works Yard…You will be missed Les..:(
My sincere condolences to the family..

My deepest sympathy in your loss. I have many great memories of your Grandfather and my Father, Fred Alton. They would travel within the Masonic and Eastern Star Order for many years side by side. They were true brothers in every sense of the word. Les was
a true gentlemen, always kind and always had a joke and a big smile for you. He was a great friend to all.
The Peterson family offers our sincere sympathy to all the family.

Thank you for your service to our Country.
You were truly one of a kind.
My sympathy to the family.

We extend our deepest sympathies to the Pengelly family.
Les was an outstanding person and it was always a joy ro be in his company.

Deepest sympathy in your loss. Mary James and myself got to know Les through the trips he used to take from McConaghy Centre – both Mary and I escorted the buses to Rama and Niagara Falls. Les also participated in other trips that ran from McConaghy. He was such a pleasant soul and always a gentlemen. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him at McConaghy.

Very sorry to hear of his passing. He was a fellow Grand Senior Warden. He was always a cheerful person. He will be fondly remembered.

On behalf of the St. Thomas Police Service, our condolences to the Pengelly family.

My condolences to the family. I had the chance recently to chat with Mr. Pengelly at an event in Innisfil. It was my pleasure. Thank You for your service to this country.

Our condolences to the family for your loss. R.W Bro. Les Pengelly was such an accomplished man, Mason and great ambassador of the Craft. A true mentor and pillar of support to myself and many, many others over the years. We will cherish his memory in our hearts. – W. Bro. Karl Karunaratne – Union Lodge#118

On behalf of the late Bruce Crawford and family, we send our deepest sympathies.

Maureen and I would like to extend our heartfelt sympathy to family and friends. Les was a true and faithful Shrine Mason and will truly be missed by all who knew him. Just arriving home from Florida it was quite a shock on hearing of his passing. Rest in peace my friend.

To the family of Les. My sincere condolences at the loss of your Grandfather and Great Grandfather. I know your loss will become a part of who you are. I know that Les thought the world of you and how you helped him after the loss of your Father. I met Les when we both travelled to Holland a few years ago. I found him to be lively and very modest of his accomplishments. But he bragged of his family. We had a little in common with the our involvement in the Royal Canadian Legion. I will ensure that the next time we do The Act of Rememberance that your Grandfather is remembered. Zone E3 Commander Cathy Connelly.

I am so sorry to have just learned of Les’s passing. He was a good friend, fellow band mate and traveler. I think of him often and was sadden to have missed the opportunity to honor him at the time.
