We remember Len as a great charming wonderful man with a big heart and open mind. He was glad if he could help somebody or at least to make feel better. We loved his wonderful self-created-cards (on pc!) he still made not long ago. He will be missed by everybody whose life he touched. He will stay in our hearts and our memories. Our sympathies are with you during these difficult time.

My heart is so heavy. Last night my grandfather made his way to heaven. Living to be 91 years old. He had such a long and interesting life. I’ll never forget the stories he used to tell us about growing up during the depression, the wars, and everything from his childhood. I’ll always remember that smile he used to carry with him everywhere he went. Thank You for all the homemade birthday cards! I’m sorry you were taken from us pap, you will be so missed. Now you are in a safe, warm, place where your spirit has been set free. We love you, always. Please watch over all of us. RIP. ????

It saddens me to imagine my grandfather has passed on to heaven. I will never have had enough time to get to know him and everything he enjoyed or did in his life. I will miss all of our time we spent out at the farm and in his camper during the summers. I will also just miss how funny he was. He always knew how to make the room laugh. I know he has gone on to what is the most peaceful place, but I will definitely miss him.
