The obituary notice of Leslie CATCHPOLE

A real shock to learn of Les's death. A real gentleman who never spoke ill of anyone. And a true professional in his working life. I'd known Le since we played rugby together in the 1970s. He will be very much missed.

Les was a one of the nicest people you could ever wish to meet. He was always thoughtful, kind and a true gentleman. My thoughts go out to his wife and family.

Les Catchpole was a true gentleman and a good friend, and, like a lot of other people, both Jean and I will miss him.

Thinking of Gail and all her family at this sad time. So sorry for your loss xx

I cannot overstate the gratitude Liz and I have for the support Les and Gail provided during my masters year. Les provided a real life example about how to live respected. He was a complete team player and one whose friendship i will miss. I will miss you Les and please rest in peace.

I can never over state the influence meeting Les via Freemasonry has had on our life. He became a great friend who could always be relied upon and a real example to us all how to live respected. I know he knew how grateful Liz and I were for the support both Gail and Les provided during my masters year. He provided such a positive example about how to be part of a team and one we should all do our best to follow.

It was a privilege to know Les. He was a great contributor to Masonry in general. I valued his friendship and kindness. I will miss him.

Les was always the same whenever you met him a true Freemason and a gentleman to boot.
