Cathy and family,
At a time of loss such as this, words can seem hollow and without much comfort. Rich and I want you to know that we send you our love and our prayers. We know that you will be well supported by your family. Your family - that will be your blessing and legacy from Len.

I am very sorry to hear about the passing of Mr. Ficht. I have many fond memories of throwing the football around with Mr. Ficht and Lenny at the house on Hollywood. I saw Mr. Ficht about a year ago and he looked great. I will keep Mr. Ficht in my thoughts and prayers.

To Cathy & Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time.
Len was such a special person. I can remember the first time I met him when he volunteered to chaperone my colloquium at Northside. He was so helpful and had a great, sly sense of humor. Thank you for sharing him with us.
With deepest sympathy and love,
Chris Olsen
