This may not be the right place to put this but it is the only way I could think of to let as many people in the UK know about the sad death on Sunday night of Les Castree at the age of 86.
Les was best known for his love of Westars and the 100 or more he refurbished over the years.
He will be sadly missed but all who knew him.

For anyone who would like to come Les Castree will be laid to rest on the 11th of this month at 1.45pm at Yardley crematorium Yardley Road Birmingham.

Thanks for letting us know this sad news and my thoughts go out to his family and friends.
I never met him, personally, but my former cinema owners did purchase some items from him 15+ years ago, so I was aware of him.
