This site is dedicated to the memory of Leslie Street.

Les was a devoted husband to me for almost forty three years. He was my sweetheart, soulmate and best friend. Les was a loving father and grandfather, and was well liked by a very wide circle of friends. He had an irrepressible sense of fun, a ready smile, and was always willing to help anyone. Les was very much a family man and very much enjoyed family get togethers and playing with our grandchildren. He also loved taking holidays and we lived our dream last January when we visited Hong Kong, New Zealand and the Cook Islands, this trip taking a month. It was after we returned home that my lovely Les was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis. Sadly, Les lost his very short battle with Interstitial Lung disease and the pulmonary fibrosis it caused on November 18th 2009 at the age of just 63. Our lives will never be the same. Hopefully this Breath of Life fund will raise precious resources for research into lung diseases.

Hi Dad. Well, 14 years since we said goodbye to you - time has flown in some respects, and dragged in others. I still think about you every day and the good times that we had. Remember the "milky" coffee in the Eastern Garden Indian restaurant in Loughborough? I though I was going to have a heart attack! We have zoom meetings twice a week and still talk about you and the ridiculous jokes you told! Apart from your silly jokes, the thing that resonates with me more than anything is your generosity, both of money (which we know you had little), and of your time and dedication to all of us. Unswerving devotion. Thank you for teaching me about life and for always being there for me. I miss you more than I could possibly say, and love you dearly. We will always remember you with fondness and love. I love you Dad.

Twelve years ago today, my heart was broken as you lost your battle with IPF. My life was in tatters and it took many years before I could feel ‘whole’ again. I loved you with my whole being, my darling Les. Today, I’m truly happy again as Ken’s wife of one year. You will always have a special place in my heart and will never be forgotten. Love goes beyond the boundaries of this world xxxx

Hi Dad - Happy Birthday! Another year has passed. Leicester City won the FA Cup so that means in my lifetime I have seen then as premiership winners and at the fifth time of asking, FA Cup winners. I must admit to crying when they won, mostly because it would have been brilliant to have seen the match with you. I still miss you so much and am now only 9 years younger than you were when you left us. I think of you every day Dad and love you as much now as I ever did. You are always in my thoughts.
