Les Williams died

[herptrader]

I heard today that Melbourne Herper Les Williams passed away. He had been ill with cancer for quite a while.

He was a member of APS but I don't recall his user name.

He bought a python and enclosure from us a number of years ago... and then proceeded to name the Python "Juda" after my wife Judy (aka trader) and me Daavid.

Les was one of the characters of the Melbourne Herp scene and I for one will miss him.

He was a top bloke. Always had time to help in any way he could. A few of my snakes came from Les and one is named after him, that will mean a lot more now.

I bought my first pair of snakes from Les, and he was always happy to answer questions when I was getting started. He was a top bloke and will be missed, my condolences to his loved ones.

I know it's late to be adding to this one but I only just saw the thread.
Can't remember when I first met Les but he was a great help to me when I started keeping reptiles, always happy to chat and offer advice with my constant questions.
He even invited me to come over and get some supervised experience handling some of his vens when I was starting off.
Top bloke

RIP Les....

I only met him on brief occasions and still have a young lowlands copperhead I bought off him a couple of years ago (or close to). He was a genuinely nice character. It's a shame things like this happen to such nice people. Regardless of this being an old thread, I felt like I needed to add a little something to it as well.
