LESLIE DAVID POMEROY

November 10, 2025

Leslie David Pomeroy of Kincardine, died peacefully, Nov. 10, 2025, surrounded by family, after a courageous battle with cancer, at the age of 74. Born Oct. 30, 1951, in Montreal, he was the son of James and Vera Pomeroy. After earning a Bachelor of Architecture from McGill University in 1975, he maintained his own practice in Montreal until 1990, then moved to London, Ontario, to join Dillon Consulting, where he remained until his retirement in 2015. He met Lise in 1977, and they were married the same year, beginning an enduring love story. Les filled his free time sharing his passion for cooking, travelling, renovating, and sailing, and often all of the above in combination. He was a valued friend to fellow sailors at the Fanshawe Yacht Club in London and later the Kincardine Yacht Club. From racing on Fanshawe or Lake Huron to cruising the North Channel, the Caribbean, the Adriatic, and the Aegean Seas, sailing brought him an incredible peace. His sons - the pride of his life - are carrying on the tradition with their own families. In recent years, Les and Lise rediscovered their youthful love of camping and enjoyed exploring, together with their dogs, the lakes and trails of Ontario’s provincial parks in their cozy travel trailer. Les’s skilled hand can still be seen in renovations of every family home lived in through the years. Some of the projects spanned years but his craftsmanship and vision always came through. The memory of Les’s unwavering kindness, his selfless spirit and his dry wit lives on in the hearts of his family, friends, and those who were honoured to have known him. Les is deeply missed by his wife of 48 wonderful years, Lise (nee Bernier); his sons, Brian (Nora), and William (Sidsel); grandchildren, Samson Pomeroy and Gudrun Nag; and his brothers, Keith (Linda) and Richard. He is also survived by his beloved pets, Ellie, Phoebe, and Chai. The family expresses gratitude to Dr. Sandhu and his staff at Brightshores Cancer Treatment Centre in Owen Sound, and to the staff at Ontario Health at Home, and Closing the Gap who together made it possible for Les to remain at home, in keeping with his wishes. The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made in Les’s name to the Brightshores Health System Owen Sound Foundation, c/o Cancer Treatment Centre in Owen Sound. A celebration of Les’s life will take place at a later date in Kincardine; arrangements entrusted to Grey Bruce Cremation and Burial Services, www.greybrucecremation.com. “Stars are watching over thee, sleep softly through the night” - unknown
