Len was one of the finest, Caring and thoughtful gentleman I have had the pleasure of knowing.
He was a man of hidden talents, he was an excellent artist, I will treasure always the Painting he blessed me with. He was a handyman in his own right and loved To spin a good yarn.
He loved to share spiritual Knowledge and books with me and had a deep love and reverence of our Lord.
Len Greatly admired his family members and Often Entertained me with stories of his youth and antics.
I loved him dearly and was so happy that he was so well cared for by his nephew and family, For which I will always be very grateful. My sincere condolences to all of the family members.
Len, May you rest in the Peace and Eternal Life and Love of God, That you’re so hoped for and believed in.
Not goodbye, but until we meet again. Forever remembered, forever loved. Bette Anne

Len was a kind, selfless man who thought of others before himself. He worked hard in the mines in England during the war. Rick was able to get him a job at York University later after he immigrated to Canada.
He came to our prayer group often in Bolton, offering up prayers to our Lord. May he rest in peace as he journeys to be with the Lord.

Leonard was my elder brother, the best brother I could have wished for, he was probably the kindest most considerate person I ever met. Leonard had the misfortune to catch meningitis shortly after birth and this left him with some difficulties. He started work at 15, working underground in the local coal mines and later went to work in the railway maintenance works in Derby (UK). These were difficult places for him. In his late 20’s he moved to Canada and life improved dramatically for him, he had a kind loving family and Rick found the ideal job for him.
When Veronica and Rick were no longer with us and able to look after him, our nephew Allan stepped up and cared for Leonard for the rest of his life, thanks Allan. When we spoke Leonard always spoke about his friends and how kind and helpful you all were, he as do I appreciated your friendship and your help and patience. He was not always the easiest, but Leonard seemed to attract nice people to him. Thank you to you all, John
