I was sorry to hear of Len's passing. My condolences go to his family. I met Leonard when he was a guest at Alfred's Restaurant when I was the G.M. some 15 years ago and I was most impressed with him as a benevolent man who shared what he had with his and the world's special children. I enjoyed listening to his stories of his youth and the way he listened to others tell their stories. I only wish I knew him better.
