Greetings to the Schroeder Family,
I apologize for missing the funeral. I just found out about our loss. I say "our", because Len was truly a special man who touched the lives of many.
I truly appreciate the opportunity I had as a Border Patrol Agent to work side-by-side with him from 1990 to 1995. He was a down to earth man who brought joy to many of us "Green Shirts".
I look forwarded to seeing him again in Heaven.
Sincerley,
Sammie Anderson

Len could turn any situation into a positive with his grand sense of humor. He blessed everyone fortunate enough to have worked with him.

After reading the notes left by his friends and co-workers, it is obvious that Lenny had touched so many people in a positive way with his sense of humor and professionalism. There aren’t too many people that leave a positive footprint in your life but Lenny was certainly one of them. He made those shifts at the San Clemente Checkpoint a lot of fun and we (Border Patrol) had many laughs together. He is one that will be remembered and thought of often. A good man all the way around!
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Len,
It was an honor knowing you and working with you. Thanks for the words of encouragement, Heaven will be brighter with you up there, as the I-5 Corridor was when you were here.

Shroeder family, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Even though Lenny a CHP Officer, he was one of the guys anytime he stopped by the San Clemente Border Patrol Checkpoint. May Gods peace & comfort be with you.

Please accept our deepest condolences on the passing of Leonard. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. We first met him way back when Ron and our son Chris were in Cub Scouts together and we have fond memories of those days and at Palmquist School. Leonard was always a very pleasant and friendly person. It was a pleasure to have met him over the years since then. May God bless you and give you comfort.

Lenny, I will miss you. You were always a great guy even to the new kid on the squad. I never felt I was being judged by you when I came to Oceanside out of the academy. I can’t make your funeral but I’m going to have a drink and a toast to you. I hope your family finds peace on comfort.

ONE OF THE TRULY GREAT OLE TIMERS OF THE OSIDE CHP SQUAD. I WAS JUST ONE OF THE FEW YOUNG BUCKS WHEN I MET YOU, AND LEARNED RIGHT AWAY THAT YOU WERE A TRULY NICE GUY, THAT I COULD ALWAYS MAKE COFFEE COME OUT OF YOUR NOSE, WHEN I SAID SOMETHING FUNNY. I LOVED THOSE LONG.... COFFE BREAKS AT THE BRIDGE JUST LISTENING ABOUT YOUR ADVENTURES IN LIFE. YOU WERE A GREAT AND TRUSTED BEAT PARTNER, LYNN AND I WILL MISS YOU VERY MUCH. GOD BLESS LEN, UNTIL WE WORK THE BEAT AGAIN.

One of the best compliments one can give another is that person was a nice person. Lenny was just that. Fair-minded, quick-witted, gentle and a good officer. Loved him and loved working with the man. It was a pleasure.

Len was one of the nicest person's and officer we had ever met. We had a lot of good times working, playing softball and golf. I will miss seeing him at the CHP convention's golf tournament. Our deepest sympathy to the family.

Len had that rare gift of warming up a room with his positive attitude and embracing acceptance. Every law enforcement briefing room needs a "Len." Condolences to Margaret and family.
