Publish in a newspaper
Len leaves behind a loving legacy, including his three sons: Melvin (Elizabeth), Louis (Kelly), and Jack. He was cherished by his seven grandchildren Bailey, Jessi (Ontario), Sarah (Devin), Riley, Duncan, Molly and Maggie as well as his two great-grandchildren, Maya and Zoey. He will also be deeply missed by his sisters, Theresa Ann and Betty (Al), and his uncle George (Lynn). He is proceeded in death by his daughter Mary Katherine.
Growing up in Greenville, Len attended St. Joseph High School before earning his degree from the University of Southern Mississippi. Throughout his life, Len pursued various professions, finally settling in Melbourne, Florida, where he worked as a carpenter and salesman. His work ethic and adaptability left a lasting impression on all who knew him.
Len's greatest joy was his music. He was a gifted vocalist. He performed with the Melbourne
Municipal Band, Swing Time Band, Rock and Roll Review, Swing Time Lite, Eau Gallie Dixie Land Band and in countless jazz performances. Whenever there was a microphone, Len would be there, sharing his passion with the world. When his singing days ended, Len found solace in his love of plants, especially bonsai. This quiet hobby brought him immense peace and pleasure.
Beyond his musical talents, Len was also a dedicated martial anist earning the rank of 4th degree black belt in Taekwondo. His discipline and perseverance in the art exemplified his lifelong commitment to growth and mastery
Len's legacy is one of love, laughter, and the pursuit of joy in all its forms. He will be remembered not only for his incredible voice but also for the kindness, creativity, and warmth he brought into every room he entered. He will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.

Hadn't seen Len in quite a while. When I lived in Melbourne, we trained together in TKD, many years ago. He always had kind things to say about everyone. God Bless, Len and his family. xo Teri

I met Mr. Len through studying the martial arts. He was one of the first students at Family TaeKwon-Do center and we trained together for many years. Mr Len became one of the senior instructors there and was an important part of the foundation of our center. He was always a very positive role model in our school and community. I can still remember his early morning classes he taught and him singing a tune in between activities . I´m so glad to call him my friend! Here´s to a life well lived, Mr. Len.

I remember Len when I would attend performances by Sybil Gage. She would invite him to sing and I could see he loved his music. RIP

It has always been a pleasure to work side by side with Len. We were both vocalists, for several years, with Swingtime. My husband Tom played saxophone with the band. Len was very talented, a good friend, and one who will be missed. He has left us with wonderful memories and tapes of his singing, to be played on and on. Tom and I send our heartfelt condolences to Len's family and know that he is already singing up yonder. RIP dear friend!
