To the Lesiuk Family;
I write to express to the family of Duke Lesiuk the sincere condolences of the Patricia’s on his passing. We are sorry that we did not hear of his early passing in time to be timely with these thoughts, but better late than never. His service with the Regiment was in the same approximate set of years as mine, and while older age stops my memory from working well, I probably met him in our days.
The Regiment remembers Duke's service, and the family is proud of that service. His name will be read in this year’s list of the lost when we read that out on November 11th, 2022 in the Sacred Space in Beechwood, the National Military Cemetery, Ottawa. His name will also be listed in the 2022 edition of the Patrician’s Last Post section, published in March 2023.
Thank you all.
Brigadier-General Vince Kennedy (Retired)
Colonel of the Regiment
Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry
