Yvonne, We're so sad to hear of Lenny's passing. It is certainly the end to an era. He was a good man and a fine character. I'm sure he'd want me to have a "Rooster Poop" sometime today. We were very happy to have shared time with both of you on B Dock.

My sympathies are with Yvonne and the entire LaBore family. I wish I could be there for Perry and you all during this time. I have had the privledge to be a part of the LaBore family for the last 6 years. I am looking forward to a lifetime of Len stories and hearing of his life adventures. May God fill your hearts during this time. Len will be missed.

Sherri, Bob & kids...I was so sad to hear about your Dad & Grandpa. I have fond memories of our days as teenagers on the river or at your house. Your dad was always such a fun guy to be around. I think about you guys often and especially now you are in our prayers as you go through these next few days.

Sherri, Bob and family,
Sherri's dad lived a remarkable life and had such love for his family. I have fond memories of sunny summer days spent with the Labore family at the houseboat on the St. Croix River. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Len was our travel consultant and helped us arrange a fabulous trip to the United Kingdom. It included a week in a boat, another week in a cottage in the Cotswold, and another week in Wales! He also introduced us to his winter paradise of Guayabitos, Mexico before it became popular with the tourists. Until he moved to Hudson, he was my walking companion at the Maplewood Community Center. We have already missed him. We wish comfort and solace to Yyonne and the rest of the LaBore family.
