I am so sorry to hear of Len's passing. We joined American the same year, so have had the pleasure of knowing him for 21 years. He was a very kind man and I enjoyed our visits at the American conferences. Prayers to you all during this difficult time.

I just learned of Len's passing and wanted to extend my deepest sympathies. I first started working with Len when I was at Boulder Ridge CC. He was such a pleasure to work with. We said a special prayer for Len in my woman's church group tonight. May God keep all of you in his loving care.
