Len was such a wonderful man and a delight to cover as a reporter. He went beyond to help educate a journalist on what was happening in the General Assembly. I am so sorry for your loss, Teitelbaum family, and hope wonderful memories will keep his spirit going forever.

Dear Marilyn,
It has been 25 years since Shirley and I met you and Len on our tour of the Canadian Rockies. The friendship we formed was very dear to us. Len was such a kind, caring, and sincere person. He is going to be missed greatly. I am so sorry for the loss to you and your family. Having recently lost Shirley, I know the pain you are experiencing.

Just got the word and we are so distressed. While we are far apart in space, our hearts go out to you and all of the family. Len was a great guy whom we cherished along with the rest of you while we were living near you. May his soul be bound up in the bonds of life.
