Len, I will miss that cool calm demeanor and the huge smile that would peek out from under your mustache. Thanks for all the laughs and stories. Rest in peace my friend.

Len taught me how to use a chain saw without cutting myself. He was very patient. A great guy and a great friend. It was my pleasure to have known him though my friends Keith and Wendy. Anne
