Dear Janice,
I am so sorry to learn of your losses. I used to work with your daughter Cindy years ago at the Light House Community Support Program in Minneapolis. I have thought of Cindy on and off over the years and what a wonderful person she was. Tonight I tried to look her up to say hello and learned of her passing and also of your husband's passing. Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Janice
I am so deeply saddened to learn of your loss of Lenny You and yours are in my prayers and I’m certain God will give you the strength to overcome.

Mr. Nadeau was a kind, sensitive, welcoming and witty man.
As a new student at Rutland High School in 1973 he was always sure to be inclusive and always made sure I had new friends around.
He made a very lonely time a happy and safe experience.
Mr. Nadeau was the originator of the "Pay It Forward" movement without even knowing it.
His kindness has been "Pay'd Forward" since 1973 as a tribute from a lonely student remembering a wonderful man. (He would cringe at that spelling!)
Thank you for sharing your husband and father with all of the students so blessed to have known him....

I have fond memories of riding back and forth between Brattleboro and Burlington in Lenny's VW bug, along with the other passengers, when we were going to UVM. He was always interesting and entertaining. I am so sorry to hear of his death, and wish we had kept in touch over the years.

Dear Nadeaus, 30 years ago Len was chairman of the English Dept. at Rutland High, and I was a substitute teacher. We used to play speed backgammon -- quite fiercely -- during free periods. One day we kept playing after the bell. Thirty minutes later a group of students knocked on the door. Lenny thought the other teacher in the team-teaching course was on that day. The kids waited til the period was almost over to let him know he was missing.
He was an excellent teacher and lived an exemplary life. God Bless you, Sincerely,

Dear Janice and the entire Nadeau family,
I am deeply sorry to hear of the passing of a truly fine man of character, spirituality and intellect, father, and spouse, who lived life to the fullest, had a wicked sense of humor and an almost infinite capacity for generosity, caring and love.
As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Mr. Nadeau was my teacher at Rutland. He had so much energy and when he called my name at roll call he used to say "Lucy in the sky with diamonds". It made me feel special. I may have babysat for his children if they lived in Chittenden. Blessings to his family. Lucille Hurley

Our deepest sympathy to the Nadeau family. Pastor Len regularly visited my mom Norma Johnson while she was sick with pancreatic cancer and read poetry to her as well as brightening the days for her. He also officiated at her funeral We always made sure we had a treat for him, and then we would joke about dieting:) He thought we had fiddlehead ferns growing in the woods one time he visited but I guess they were weeds. And he talked about picking mushrooms and how some can be deadly if you don't know what your doing. Pastor Len left deep footprints on our hearts and we will never forget his compassion, love and humor.

So sorry to here of Leonards passing. He was our Good neighbor for a few years I lived at 69 temple st and The Nadeus lived on Belmont which was right across the st. Also he was a teacher at my school in Rutland for years. I remember when we had a bad thunderstorm once and he was shaving and got zapped by lighting, took the siding right of there house. My dad Richard Geno died this past April it is hard to lose your dad and you will miss him dearly but hold onto all the wonderful memories. He is gone but never forgotten.
