To the Jardine family, I knew Len and John at Purdue University. I played fullback there and worked with Lenny and Sam Joyner. Their leadership and character were unmatched and I feel blessed to have known both of them and Maryanne. My prayers are with you as we just found out about their passing.

I want to extend my deepest sympathy to the Jardine Family for their recent losses.
I was 2 years behind Len at St Ignatius grammer school. I always looked up to the older fellas. Len was one of my early heroes. I watched him play sports at Loyola High School even though I attended a differnt school.
I was an athlete myself so when I got older I was able to play in pickup basketball games with Len in the St. Ignatius school yard. This was quite a thrill for me. Len was like a superman for me. I aspired to have his leadership qualities, find character traits, and competitive nature.
These are the marks of a dynamic person, one who inspires and impacts others and never even knows it.

To the Jardine Family,
I work at NACSCORP in Oberlin Ohio, and I very thankful to have know Len. He was a leader of incredible character. He had a way of talking to you and inspiring you, regardless of your role in the organization. Many self help books teach of the character that just flowed naturally out of Len. It was an honor to know him. My prayers will be with you as you mourn the loss of your parents.

I played basketball against Len in the 1954-55 season when I played at Leo H.S. and Loyola Academy was in the So. Section that year. That January we both started the Catholic League All-star game held at Loyola Univ. Len was a fierce competitor, a very fine player and a good guy. I remember him well and am sorry for your loss.

For those of us fortunate enough to play football at Loyola during the "Jardine years", Len Jardine was the ultimate coach, mentor and role model. After returning to Loyola as it's head coach in 1960 he took a program that was the doormat of the Chicago Catholic League and turned it into one of the best high scool programs in the nation. Coach Jardine was loved and respected by all of his former players and we are devasted by his loss. My sincere condolences to all the Jardine children as you mourn the loss of two truely inspiring parents.

My prayers go out to your family, I was saddened to hear of your loss.
I am one of the son's of Len's cousin (Charles H.). A cherished childhood memory is of Len's father, James, showing slides of the Rosebowl that Len took part in as a coach on our living room wall. It was a good example at an early age of what is possible to achieve in life.

Jardine Family,
I was at Loyola Academy when Len came on board as our football coach. He immediately, through his leadership and dedication began the turn around in the program. He inspired many of us with his driveand determination to succeed not only on the field but in life. He has accomplished the goal many strive for...to make this a better place during his time here on earth.He was truly a man for others

To The Jardine Family,
Our hearts ache at the loss of both your wonderful parents and grandparents. You know we loved them dearly and shared a bag full of wonderful and happy memories gathered over many years.
Experience has taught us that the deep sorrow you feel now will lesson in time and you will be blessed with warm happy memories of the two wonderful parets you were blessed to have. We are confident you all will quickly get on with your lives, becasue of the desire to grow and achieve that has been imparted in you by Len and Marianne. In the case of Tom and Lenny it was probably "hammered in" more than imparted, but we know it's there!
God Bless and keep you all in this heartbreaking time.

To the Jardine family,
My sincerest sympathies for your losses. I worked for your dad while in the Warwick RI office for 3 years before he retired. He was generous, had integrity and I am honored to have worked under his leadership. Your mom was a very nice lady as well. Both Marianne & Len will be greatly missed! I pray that you and your siblings keep a close relationship to help heal your broken hearts.

My sincere condolences on the passing of Leonard. He was my late Father's (Charlie) cousin. Unfortunately I did not know Leonard well, but he was one of my Father's favorites and I found him engaging and kind in the few times we spoke.

I am comforted by the fact that many many people were able to be with him in recent months. Your father was a wonderful, kind and gentle giant among men. Time will heal the pain, memories will bring back the smiles and faith will carry us. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to reconnect with him (and all of you) again after so many years away. Love and Hugs, Cathy

My wife and I are so sad to learn of Len's untimely passing, so soon after Marianne. I first met Len as a sophomore at Loyola Academy in 1960. And was so happy to meet him again as a member of the Sanctuary Club on Sanibel island Florida. All of their Florida friends will miss Len and Marianne deeply. Please accept our condolences.

Coach Len Jardine recruited me personally to come to Brown and play for him. My 4 years at Brown were the best of my life! Our teams were not particularly good but the college experience was tremendous. I will always be in debt to Len for giving me that opportunity.

The Jardine Family,
I was so very saddened to hear of the passing of Len and Marianne.
My husband and I both worked with Len at NACSCorp (what a wonderful leader he was!) and meet Marianne several times. I can say that they both are people who touched your heart and made a impact in your life.
I hope that knowing that your parents had such a positive influence on the people they met brings you some comfort. I know that they both impacted mine and my husband's life for the positive.
May God wrap you in both love and strength during this difficult time.
