Leonard Brill Obituary
BRILL February 9, 1942 - March 5, 2008 Leonard Allen Brill passed away suddenly at the age of 66 years young. Len was deeply loved and will be greatly missed by his loving wife, Wendy Donna Brill; sons, Leonard Brill, Barry Brill, David Daniels (Misty); daughters, Serena Brill, Sheila Brill; grandchildren, Ryan Brill, Shelby Brill, Brienna Cabral, Emily Cabral as well as many relatives and friends. He is predeceased by his loving mother Olga Brill: brothers, Andy Brill, Donny Brill and Walter Brill. Lenny, as he was know by his friends, was known for his carefree, generous and adventurous nature. He had a bottomless amount of love for his family. His grandchildren and all children who knew him will miss his playfulness and stories. He loved his Moto Guzzi and was a true "Ford" man at heart. Through his trails and adversities he always had a smile and a joke. He was generous and friendly to family and strangers alike. Len was a great man who showed his family how to love; how to forgive; how to smile and how to laugh. For those who would like to celebrate his life, a viewing will be held at Henderson's Langley Funeral Home located at 20786 Fraser Highway on March 13th from 4:00pm to 5:00 pm. There will be an open house at his residence all day. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Remembering you through the kids. They use this memories well. So glad we signed it up for it to always be here for them at the beginning. I'm still using Lennie's Magic Potion, which is what I named it. Have shared it with many, even in the USA. Think of you and Wendy often. The kids have grown and are doing fine. I often wonder if Chris, Kenny and others are all still riding out there together. Last time I saw you was your visit to our porch, bugging Chris and having coffee. We were close to where Wendy worked. Ride high Lennie. You are missed.

Well it's nice to see Remembering still active. New photos are wonderful.
Enough time has passed and the pain of not being able to hear your voice has eased somewhat. I can still hear you and your fantastic humor clear as day in my mind. I still rock out to country classics at work. And I still play the early Bee Gees, Nana Mouskouri, Little Richard and the long list of other music that brings me closer to you.
August will be 30 years for me in aviation which means I'm closing in on retirement in another few years. Then I'll continue working out of home to remain active.
Motorcycle season is about two months away and that's when I feel closest to you. I love longer rides and revisit some of the rides we did together.
I do right by you by ALWAYS pulling over to help folks broke down. And I also dodge traffic for Bungie chords laying in the road. You never left a Bungie chord behind.
I'm missing you without the pain. That took time.
A human life is short in the bigger picture. See you soon.

Another year has passed. Miss you and love you very much. Alot has happened in 2024. I finally got a knee replacement. No more pain. I can walk and live again. I lost my sadie girl. She joined Winston and Angel and the rest of all our passed animals. This is the first time in 26 years since I have been dogless. It's lonely. But traveling will be easy. Mom is doing great, still not smoking which is amazing. Grandkids are getting big. I tell them stories of you all the time. Hope always says " in the olden days"... lol.
I am called fun grandma. Lol. I must admit I am just like you with kids, all fun. They love me so much. Your bday is soon and I wish you a happy spiritual bday. We have been going to WhiteCaps games for ladt season and this season. I always talk about my soccer days with Jen when we are there at the games. I love and miss you

Another year has gone quicker than the last one. I missed writing on your birthday but that doesn't mean I forgot. It seems that you are around in so many ways because something is always happening that makes me think of you and what you have said. I have 2 more grandkids since the last time I wrote ya. You would absolutely love them. Hard to believe how many great grandkids you are getting. I am always thinking of how proud you would be of your family because the thing I know about you the most is how much love you had for your family. I miss that. I miss how you would make sure each of us felt loved and how you would make the grandkids think they were the absolutely best in the world. I know how special Ryan and Shelby feel about the relationship you had with them. I know that by your example your great grandkids are being loved just as fiercely as you loved your grandkids. Each year that goes by gets me one step closer to seeing you again and although I don't want that to happen too soon, I am looking foward to it.

Happy Father's Day. Love you and miss you everyday. Life is good. We know that's how you would want it. I met my aunt after 40 something years. We reminisced about the past. Hope Deb has joined you and the rest of the family. I have recently lost a very good friend aswell to cancer like Deb. I don't believe in God but I would like to believe in a spirit life. Love you

Years go by but memory's never age. I'm older but family memory's don't age. I'm frozen in time. I can't move on. I'm in a loop. I replay my life. I miss everything. It hurts. I miss everybody. The last time we were together I miss.

Well Len, I was just talking about you the other day. I sure miss you. As my kids have become parents I think of how important you were as a grandpa and how your grat grandkids would love you so much. You always made feel like,e such an important part of your family and how proud you were of me, Sometimes I wish you could still tell me that you think I was a good mom, This yeatR has been so incredibly hard with my dad passing away, I am left with no Dad's to encourage or hug me when I so need it. I think about how much love you would show to Ryan's and Shelby's kids and how special I know you would make them feel. Just like you did to Ryan and Shelby. Aubry, Micah and Charlee will know you from the stories we tell them about you and how much love you had in your heart. I figure heaven is a pretty big place but I hope you are able to have a chat or two with my dad. As both of your birthdays approach know we are giving you the biggest birthday hugs and our tears are because we love you whole heartedly. I hope that one day I am able to tell you how much I love you and how proud and grateful I am that you welcomed me into your family as your daughter.

Time moves on. Life is like a clock. Tick tock Tick tock. Everyone around me moves on.
I'm stuck in time. I miss you like I only talked to you yesterday.
People say I live in the past. I feel better in the past with you in it. This new times are foreign. And certainly don't share your belief system nor mine.
I miss your jokes. I miss your laugh.
I miss life before you left.

Hey dad. Can't believe you would be 80 if you were still with us. Wonder what you would be like?. You wouldn't like how this world is right now. It's not great. I miss you and love you and never stop thinking about you. Thank you for the visits in my dreams. I look forward to seeing you and talking to you in them. 14 years has gone by so fast. I love you ❤

The years seem to pick up speed as we get older. 12 years has gone by since you left and it's hard to believe. I can still hear your voice and your laugh. I miss seeing you tinkering in the yard and on the bikes. I've accepted that your not available for everyday chat. But that doesn't mean I'm ok with it.
Sharon, I'm sorry to hear Tiny has also passed but l agree that they back together as the good friends they've always been since they were kids. We're all going to see them again some day and I know they'll be waiting for us.

Hey dad. Love you, miss you. Mom lost Mindy 15 days ago. Mindy helped her loneliness after you were gone. She will get through it as she is a strong woman. Can't believe it's 12 years. Ias you no I have grandkids and I no you would love them so much. I have become you with them by hugging and kissing them and playing with them the same way you did with us as kids and Ryan and shelby. Wish you were here. You would be so proud of Shelby and Ryan. I had a great conversation with Ryan and we talked alot about you and he really misses you, we all do. Hope your still watching over us. LOVE YOU ❤

Well Len, another year has gone by and we are one year closer to seeing you again. I still think if you every time I chat with the kids. I know you would love how both of them are as adults. They are strong, loving, family orientated and hard working. They both have huge hearts and will do anything for family. I know you are proud of them. I am positive you were there for Ryan when he had his accident and you protected him so he wasn't hurt. Thank you! I sure miss you and all the support you always gave us. Want you to know how much we live you and how much you are still a part of our lives.

Ten years today already! Not forgotten but thought of whenever we use or share the ZHENG GU SHUI ! Works magic and now I call it Lenny's magic potion. I pay it forward whenever I see a need. We remember you at the last birthday party for you. Then we remember the time on our porch you said the medicine was for me, not Chris. Haha Sleep well friend. Chris & Sharon

I finally have my own structures shop it's taken 23 years to get this far. The owner of Black Tusk Heli is in his 70's he has your humor and faith in me the way you always did. He also listens to the same music. It sure would be nice to see you walk into the shop to sit and chat. I talk to the walls hoping you are there. But it's not the same.

Everybody that says "Time heals" hasn't had real loss. I sit here listening to the best of the Bee Gees 1968. I miss you just because I do. Not because of a birthday, Christmas or fathers day. Every day is good reason.

The older I get the faster the years go by. Missing dad is a daily event. I still shake my head over daily stuff and talk to him aloud as if he were standing there with me. When I tinker on the motorcycles and listen to his music, I feel him there.
I wish you two the best of health and Tiny a speedy recovery.

Another year has past. I wish I could see what you were like at 76. Probably the same, working out in your shed, tinkering out in the yard. Well I no you no how much I miss you. Sometimes I wish you were here to be the mediator with some things. Anyway love you and miss you always. Mom is doing good. I look out for her and help her whenever she needs it. LOVE YOU❤❤❤

Hey dad. I talk to you and think about you every day. Especially when I have a few drinks lol. I know some people close to me are probably sick of hearing about you so much. Or I worry they might be sick of my stories. I don't care either way.
I refuse to move on. I will repeat the same stories like the ones I grew up on. It's how we are.

Happy birthday dad. You would have been 74 today, wonder if you would be the exact same at that age. Working out, doing what you did. Miss you always. Mom is still being a trooper. She now has a titanium hip, and she is doing well in her recovery. I'm there for her anytime she needs. I will always take care of her so no need to worry. I love you and wish you were still here ❤

Hey dad. I haven't written here in a while. I am today because this page was made for you. I miss you. I love you. I listen to all your music. I swear and carry on like you sometimes just to try and feel your energy. To some that might sound dumb but I know you know what I mean. I'm getting older and sometimes when I catch a quick look at a reflection of myself I think I see some of your fetures, but only for a second and then I just see me.
As you know Mom and Serena are going to see John Edward. I would love if you dropped in for that. LOL! I think Mum could use anything from you right about now. That's my wish for the year. I don't wish for much anymore now a days.
I miss you as much now as the day you left.

Hello Dad!
I'm past the shock of your physical passing. I do believe that you have "crossed over" I can feel and hear you still in my mind. I'll sometimes stand and look out over a lake or the ocean and feel you near me in the wind. I don't care if that sounds funny! When ever I have a small success in my daily life I can still see your smile and positive energy. You always told me I could do better.
You taught me never to lay down and feel sorry for myself when things get tuff. I still look up to you like a child and am still a very proud son and use your belief system to get by. I'll keep my hands up and keep you forever in my heart.

Dad is proud of you Len! Dad was the only person really behind you always. This Christmas is a sad and empty one....We have a family gathering and my dad was the entertainment at all of the family gatherings, this year it will be alot quieter. Its still feels like he is around even though we no he isnt. Dec 2 was mom and dads 34th anniversary and it was a sad day for my mom, no husband to celebrate with. We are all moving on slowly but there isnt a day that passes that i dont cry and miss my dad. I love you dad!

Just want to say that my Dad always told me that I was good with my hands and thought I should do something for myself. He always encouraged me to get a mobile ski repair business going. Or a mobile small engine out door power repair business going. He always encouaged me to go to school and fly straight. Dad had it hard growing up and he wanted more for us kids than he had. I've talked to many people who told me how proud of us kids he was. That's what he talked about. . . and Ford's and Guzzi's
I just the other day recieved notice from The British Columbia Institute Of Technology, informing me that I'm the newest member of their staff. I will soon begin instructing the Aircraft Structures Program as a sub to start. This will work into full time instruction as time goes by. I'm shocked that I got the position. Dad wouldn't have been shocked. This is the sort of thing he constantly pushed me towards and told me I could do. He believed in me more than I did my self. I'm still a kid at heart. Wanting to run home with good news to tell mom and dad about. It makes my throat tighten up that I couldn't see him light up with the news. He would have rolled with it real smooth like he'd expected no less.
I miss him.

I still drop Dads name in conversation like he's still here. I also still expect or wish my phone to ring with Dad asking when I'm coming over for lunch. Dad would usually make me grilled cheeze samiches and his funny pasta, tomato soup with cheeze wiz mix. Funny yes. But it was good. I can't bring myself to make it for myself. Maybe one day I will.
I also want to share the last conversation I had with Dad the evening befor he passed. Kimberly and I had just purchased her a baseball glove and us a basketball. We went over to a local elementry school in Walnut Grove to shoot some hoops and toss the base ball around. As it was getting cooler and as the light was just beginning to fade, we decided to head home. As we got into the car Dad called just to say hello. I told him what we were doing and he said to me that he actually liked to shoot hoops aswell. I was kinda surprized to hear that. Then comes his joke. And without knowing it, the last I will ever hear. He said that he didn't like baseball.
We laughed and talked just a little longer and said good by.

To Serena and the rest of the family:
When we lost dad (Ed) years ago, I did the same thing. Missed him every day and I still go to call him now and then. Often when something needs fixing, I think "oh, Dad could do that"! I still "forget" we don't have Dad to "fix it".
Time will heal but you will never forget. As long as you hold him in your heart he will never be truly gone. Keep the good memories close and talk to him every day to let him know how much you love him.
Thinking of you all, Merrilee Knowlan-Heard

I first wanted to thank Tiny and his wonderful wife for establishing this site for Dad. Then I need to thank everyone who attended moms' open house for Dad. But my biggest thanks' gose out to my fearless and coolest father Leonard Allen Brill Sr. Or better known to Grandmother as just "Allen". Thank you Dad for being the best father a boy could have. You always drove me in directions that made me the man I am today. All those cold nights holding the trouble light for you while you worked on one of the family cars or repeatedly worked on the Triumph in the freezing cold. Thanks! You always told me how natural I was with my hands and encouraged me to go as far as I could in school. I later became my own mechanic and helped people in my own neighbourhood. I enjoyed the thrill of helping people the same way you did. You were always a very hard worker. By your example, you made Serena, Barry and myself all hard workers. By having us kids out on the heavy bag, you showed us courage and the ability to defend ourselves.
You were everything to mum and she was everything to you. You often told me how much you owed mum for all thoes crazy years she stood by you. I watched as you and Mum became the best couple and best friends.
I'm still in shock and very sad that your gone. But I have a spiritual faith that started from your own and I'm very certain that one day I'll see you waiting for each of us as we "cross over". Your still Dad and you haven't left us. I know your waiting! I love you Dad and will do my best to make you proud. See ya soon.

I now have a big hole in my life that can not be filled or fixed. My dad left us very suddenly and unexpectedly. I never got to say goodbye and that is really hard. I will wake up everyday and not hear him say good morning or good night. I am so honored to have been his daughter. All of our years being so close while I played soccer was the best time of my life. He still talked about it like it was yesturday.I was the socccer player I was because of his dedication and love for the sport. It still feels like he will walk through the door at anytime and this will all be a dream. I LOVE YOU DAD. I thank everyone who cared about him for being there in this terrible time.

Wendy, Your sorrow is our sorrow. You have lost the love of your life, we lost a friend. Tiny knew him since they were in grade 7, their history is long, and have many stories. I will miss his impromptu visits and his riding up our driveway on his Moto looking for a chat and coffee, this summer. He was always a ray of sunshine, jokes and stories.
We will miss him. In memory of Lenny we will keep this Guest Book open. Our gift to you and your family.
With Love,

Dear Wendy and Family,
Our condolences at your loss of a outstanding father, husband and our friend.
Wendy, my times with Lenny were always filled with stories of you, you were truly his princess. His pride and respect for his children was awesome.
Len's character and stedfastness was a good example to many of his friends. It helped keep me sober for twenty years.
We will miss him.
