You have our deepest sympathy for the passing of your dad. But what a comfort it is to know that he is now back with your mom after all these years. He was a very kind and gentle man and was a great neighbor. I have many fond memories of our childhood
as neighbors we had such fun together. You are in our thoughts and prayers

Uncle Len, I met you and your lovely children, my cousins, once. I was 12 year so old, yet I felt such a connection to the beautiful family you nurtured. What an honorable and genuine husband, father, and uncle. With love, Karen Harris (Pfeifer, Harry's

When I was 16, I spent a summer in Michigan with a family for baton twirling practice. During this time away from home, I was lucky enough to meet my great Uncle Len. Leonard, his son Gary, and I had a nice lunch and I very much felt like I was with family.
Leonard had a very warm presence and even though he listened more than talked at lunch, I walked away feeling like I knew him well. You could just tell he was a good person through and through, very giving and kind. Talking with my mom Karen and my grandmother
Margret about Leonard and his life, I often thought about him and his family back east. I am so thankful I met him, even in an hour lunch he gave me support and kindness. I pray for and send love to him, his children, and grandchildren during this time.
