It is with great sadness that we, the family, announce the passing of Leslie Trigg of Lacombe, formerly of Tees, AB on Friday, May 6, 2016 at the age of 90 years.

Les & Frances moved to the Tees area in 1955 where they farmed until they retired to Lacombe in 2011. His pride & joy were his cattle & he never lost his interest in them.
