Obituary of Leslie John Huggett

1929 – 2013 His life ended on Valentine's Day with his wife, Margaret, the love of his life, at his side. With the RCAF he came to Canada from England in 1954 and played the french horn in orchestras in Ottawa and Quebec City. He and his family delighted audiences throughout the seventies with their concerts of renaissance music and folk songs. He was a music critic and instigator of educational programs and through his superior musicianship and empathetic nature he left a legacy of fine musicians both amateur and professional. Many now perform in Europe as well as in Canada. For the last 25 years, along with Margaret and colleague Flora Lim, he was a much loved mentor to his many students at the Markham Studio. Recently he unexpectedly turned to writing his memoirs and his readings were enthusiastically received. Heartfelt thanks to Dr Cull, Dr Brown and the Palliative Care team at Port Perry Hospital. A Memorial Service will be held in the spring. Memories and condolences may be shared at www.waggfuneralhome.com
