Len Fort
We became immediate friends 5 years ago. I met him at another friends house (Allen & Carol Parker) while he was doing some work for them.
Len was a genuine sincere friend towards anyone who crossed paths with him. He had a very cordial and energetic attitude to all.
Len would periodically call out of the blue, to check on you. He always had a positive upbeat attitude -which I will miss about him dearly.
I went to several Mans Beast Feast with Lens friends and family at Allen's Church.
I will SURE miss Len. He was a good man, person and friend to all that knew him.
Not enough can be said to someone who becomes a friend in such a short time in your life. I feel fortunate and blessed to have known him for such a short time -yet feel like he has been in my life forever. I know for a fact he has treated ever one in his life the same. That's what made Len who he was and will always be remembered for.
I love you Brother RIP,
Your friend
Brad Roberts.
