My Hero as a child, Len lived across the street from my grandfather and I loved watching him and others rehearse. I will never forget him.

My relationship with Len goes back 44 years. My parents were great friends with the Rossi's and I was introduced to him around my birth. He's been part of my entire life! I not only consider Len a wonderful man and family friend but I also credit him with my health throughout my life. My parents sought his and Lee's help when I was diagnosed with Asthma, as an infant, and with their trained hands knowledge...I never had any issues from that point on. Every breath I take is strong and complete and I have them to thank for it. As we all grew older, I understood more how important Len was to me at such an early age and I'm forever thankful for that. Len and Jeanie have been so very important to my parents over the years. When my dad passed away...they were there and Len called me several times in the years that passed just to check in on me. I'm heartbroken but I'm already looking forward to when I get to see and hug him again. I'm positive he and my dad, along with Lee, Adele, Joe and Michael, are all having an amazing reunion. I look forward to the day I get to. Jeanie...if you need anything...mom(Dottie) and I are a phone call away. Len...there are no goodbyes for those that believe so...I'll see you later on. And...thank you for being part of the life I have. Stevie

We have know Len Rossi for over 20 years. First went to his store in Brentwood, then Franklin, and then his house. We not only went to see him for health items, but also for good conversation. He was always positive and good natured! Called him today to see if he had something and he did not answer. Checked the internet and found out about his passing. Our sincere condolences to his wife and family. He will be missed

We knew Len many years and went to his store often, not only to buy health items, but also to talk to him about many things. I just called him up today to see if he had an item we needed; no answer so we looked him up and found that he had just died. Our condolences to his wife and family. We will remember and miss him.

Len Rossi was a pioneer in Natural Health and the struggle for Health Freedom. His friendship and support were invaluable as I began my career in botanical lab work over thirty years ago. Len Rossi was truly a great man.

Dr. Rossi was my health care provider of vitamins and supplements for over 30 years. He and Jeanie were special friends, and he will be missed so very much. To all of his family, I send thoughts and prayers for strength, courage, comfort, and peace. All of his Italian friends and friends from St. Philip's in Franklin ask God's blessings on him.

Len was one of the most popular people in or out of the pro wrestling business. I have known him many years and have never heard him say anything negative about anyone. He was one of a kind and will be missed by many.
RIP: Len.

I am so sorry to hear of Len's passing. Truly one of the nicest, most selfless people I have ever known. I missed seeing his smiling face when he had to move the store back to his home.
