Dearest Aunt Dot, Cousins Danny, Ruth, Jim, Karen and Families,
My childhood memories with Uncle Len and all of you will always bring smiles and hearty laughs. We had such memorable, fun times in Pittsburgh during the summers... family get-togethers, exploring, pretending, singing, swimming, sight-seeing. I know "family" was really important to our dads as they lost theirs at a young age. Uncle Len was always so wonderful to me.
I'm so sorry to have been unable to attend his Funeral and will always continue to honor his memory and remember his love.
I'm saddened that he suffered with leukemia but am certain he used all his strength to try and fight it.
We send our most sincere sympathy to all of you and share your grief. The many happy memories will help a bit, we hope and pray.
With much love,
Julie, Frank, Christian, Nick and Dylan

Aunt Dot, Danny, Ruthie, Jim and Karen, Uncle Len was a tough, true grit Croat who left a lasting impression on me since I was a young kid. He had a heart of gold and was always kind to Julie and me when we would visit. I'll never forget the trips to the airport to watch the planes take-off and land. Our Gram Anna raised 3 great men - that's for sure. Cathy, Sophia and I are praying for you all especially you Aunt Dot. Lots of Love to you and the Grandkids.
