Peggy, we are so sorry for your loss. We were so blessed to live across the street from you! Len was always eager to share - the fruits of his "awesome green thumb", his tools, his fix-it knowledge (which was limitless), his time....and his love. He was never too busy to help or to chat .....and he had an unlimited amount of love for our girls.

May God cradle you in His arms and comfort you in your loss, Peggy.

Peg, we were so sorry to hear of Len's passing! I still remember all of the good times we shared with both of you when you traveled with us. Our prayers are with you and your family.

Love, Lois and Bob Steliga

My deepest sympathies to the family on your loss. I will always remember, in the later years, bowling in the Falk tournament with Pinky.
