Dear Wayne & Debbie, so sorry to hear of Lens(Tiny) passing. We have many good memories of seeing him around town, mostly at Walmart, having chats about old times, family & friends. I ran into him not too long ago & he was telling me you’s were just in town celebrating someone’s birthday, & he was quite pleased to have everyone all together. He was bragging lots about the great grand kids too:) Please send our love & condolences to Mark & Katie & the kids, Ilene, & the rest of the family also. May he rest in peace. Love You all.

So sorry to hear Uncle Leonard has passed away. . . . . I have so many fond memories of the yearly trips out west with the camper van, his hearty laugh and his great sense of humor. Such a gentle giant of a man with a soft heart, he will be missed by everyone who was lucky enough to have had him in their lives.
