May Len's memory be for a blessing. I will miss his sharp wit, impish smile and certainly his intellect. He was a terrific teacher for our Olliru current events class. Always up on the latest news. I learned a lot from him and he was a true mentor. This is a a big loss for us all. My heart is broken. Condolences to his family. I am lucky he touched my life in such a wonderful way.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

We only met Leonard a few times when traveling out East. He always was so knowledgeable, friendly, and lovely to be with. He was a real "mensch", meaning a most generous, caring individual. We appreciate how he treated Lynn and know he will be missed!

Len was such a vibrant man, charming and entertaining all with his stories. He was fun to be with, interesting, super smart, adventurous, and a friend to all.

It is with much sadness that I offer sincere condolences to Len's children and their families, from myself, Len's youngest brother, and my children Robyn and Emma. Len was highly regarded and admired by our Mother and Father Dora and Arthur, and much loved and respected by our eldest brother Ronald and sister Sylvia. Len was the most generous, loving and supportive brother a young child could ask for and of which I have the fondest of enduring memories, I miss him immensely, as I know his family and friends do. God bless and keep you Len, until we are reunited in heaven.
