I just found out about Len's death from his sister Linda. It was a wonderful idea of the family to remember Len by traveling to Cuba as a group this Christmas - your first without Len.
I have memorialized Len on the following website from published info. I will maintain this site for the foreseeable future. http://carr.ca/WLG/
Len's family can contact me if you have photos or other additions you wish to make.

So sorry to hear about the passing of your husband and father. Reading the obituary in the paper brought back so many memories of working with you and watching lacrosse games together. I know your memories of Len will be very cherished and help to keep him near. Take care of yourselves.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. I can still remember Len on the sidelines watching Michele play soccer. He was fiesty and involved. We have lost a good man.
