I was so sorry to hear that Len had passed. I have many memories of him and I considered him a friend. He taught me what it meant to be competitive and I will always be grateful for that . I also know that my brother Kevin considered him along with Chris Ratz and Tim August best of friends. He will be missed and my condolences go out to his family.

An exceptional human being and wonderful neighbor, Len was always ready to provide support no matter how much was required of his time and resources.
I am sad with his family and will never forget what he meant to all of us,

Harewood Family, Adrian, Lana, Parker & Zoë,
Our hearts were saddened to hear the news of Len's passing. We are sending the Hyde family our deepest sympathies and warm thoughts at this difficult time. Len was a wonderful neighbor, and the kid's adored him. They especially marvelled at his craftsmanship of the "heated cat house" for the family pet and loved cat-sitting when needed. Len always gave them a generous incentive, but they genuinely loved doing it for the family. Audrey and Caroline have been thoughtful and caring big "sisters" to Parker & Zoë and have been the best babysitters over the past 7 years we've been neighbors. Claudia, we are so sorry for your loss. We are keeping you and the rest of the family in prayer during this sad time. We’re here for you. God bless you.

Like so many others, we are still in shock at the passing of Len who was so full of energy and enjoying so many aspects of life. We will dearly miss our frequent chats "through the trees" between our homes.
Our deepest condolences to Claudia and children. The neighborhood will miss Len and his infectious smile and laughter. We are here to help in any way we can.
While I didn’t know Len well, if he was anything like his daughters, then I realize what a great loss this is. Sending lots of love
