What a legacy "Uncle Len" has left. He was loved by all he knew him. Comfort for his loss will come from God when you need it most. Wait and depend on the Lord. It surely was an amazing privilege and blessing to have been a friend and church sister to him. He was loving, caring, kind, gentle and generous child of God. He loved the Lord with all his heart and that made him a precious son and desciple of God. I look forward to that great eternal reunion when Jesus calls his children from their sleep. Come Lord Jesus!

Thank you Len for treating me like a daughter. You have been such a joy to be part of your life. I will miss you so very much. I will miss you smacking me on the back and throwing spitballs at me at the restaurants. Super Bowl Sunday and going to Florida will never be the same again. You are a great man with a great big heart and an awesome family who loves you dearly. It has been a great honor to know you.
