LESLIE L. GAME Leslie Lee Game, 77, of Palatka, passed away Wednesday, April 15, 2009 at Haven Hospice Roberts Care Center following an extended illness.

He was a member of the San Mateo Church of God and American Legion Post #293 in Interlachen. As his hobbies, he enjoyed fishing and using his talent as a chef in the Air Force in cooking for family and church events and probably more so the fellowshipping with others at these gatherings.

Hardin, Col. USAF, (Ret.) whom he first met in 1958 at Offutt AFB, Omaha, NE. and who has remained a close friend and mentor. Funeral services will be held 10:00 A.M. Saturday, April 18th at the Johnson-Overturf Funeral Home in Palatka with Pastor Richard Sapp and Chaplain R.N. Hardin, Col. USAF (Ret.) officiating.

My
family and I were brought in as
part of the Game family since 1993. Les &
Georgia were always so welcoming, as well as Sharon
"Red", Rob, and of course Taylor. Les used to work for my dad
part time, as a driver, so he got to see Jacob from the time he
was in my belly until he was a quote "fine young man" We have
had a many fine meals with the games. Les will surely be
missed. He is in the
arms of Jesus now Tracey,Harold, & Jacob "BIG BOY" Bourgeois ~ Palatka Fl 32177
