Dear Christine, Elizabeth, Jonathan and Daniel,
I am so sorry for your loss. Leslie was an amazing colleague and a huge figure in Arabic Studies. His work in the field has been inspirational. He will be deeply missed. I will always remember his kindness, his sense of humour and the stories he used to tell. May he rest in peace.
My prayers are with you at this difficult time.
With deepest sympathies,
