Len will be sorely missed at all the Packer parties, Birthdays, and family events. Always a kind word, a ready joke, and a goofy face to spread his joy. Prayers of peace and comfort to his beautiful family.

Dave and I were blessed to have known Len and lucky to have been able to visit him in his last days. We brought him a banana cream pie and listened to him tell jokes just days before he passed. Dave and I cherish that memory and so many more. Rest in peace Len. We are comforted in the fact that you are now at peace. We know we will be reunited again one day. Our sympathies are extended to the family.

Please know prayers are going out to our Lord for your comfort and peace as you grieve. Lenny always impressed me with his ready smile and sincere greeting. Even though we are miles and years apart , his
character left a great and lasting impression . The world could use more men like him.
