Leslie Lee Beale made his entrance on February 25th, 1951, and passed away on June 13th, 2021.
In those seventy years, he truly played many parts - son, brother, cousin, steel worker, martial artist, actor, director, musician. But perhaps his greatest roles were those of friend and mentor.
Les made many contributions to our community, both as a musician and through his work with the theatre. For all of his skills, perhaps his greatest talent was his ability to nurture and encourage others to share their gifts with the world.
A rescuer of strays - canine, feline, and human - Les provided comfort and support to all those he encountered. As an artist, he brought an element of magic to our small community, and, through his guidance, allowed others to find the magic within themselves. His loss will be deeply felt by generations of actors and musicians, as well as the friends and family he leaves behind.
A Celebration of Life was held at the Green River Plantation Pavilion.
