Condolence from Tamara on December 27th, 2014 9:26 pm

My sweet Lenny Pooh, not just a step dad to me but a true father in every way. As a child when your parents get divorced you wonder why God?…Then i found out why…so Len would be a part of my life and bring so much joy and happiness to our entire family..especially my mom. I could confide in Len about absolutely anything and he would do the same. Always bringing a laugh to any dinner, special occasion or visit. Lenny-pooh I will never stop remembering our special times together and I am so grateful that you made my life that much brighter everyday…you will continue to do it to as we remember you. I know you are at peace now and reunited with your family and friends.
My sincere condolences to his family and friends. We lost a terrific man…one of a kind. But we will never stop remembering and cherishing the moments we had.
Love you to the moon and back my sweet Lenny Pooh!!!
Your loving daughter, Tamara xxoo

A fantastic guy has crossed over to watch over his beautiful family. Always a laugh, always a smile, always a hug from Lenny. He together with his soulmate Linda, my sis, were an inseparable, totally insinc pair. Bookends to each other holding in the middle love and strength for each other and their family. We will miss your earthly presence but will watch for your signs to us that you are there. So blessed to have known you. Love sis and Fred

So sorry to hear of the passing of Leonard. My thoughts and prayers are with Darren and the rest of the Snell family. I have many fond memories of Uncle Leonard. He was always the life of the party and loved spending time with family. Had a lot of fun times with him while I was growing up. He was one of the people who would ride the roller coasters with me. Will miss you.

Condolence from Betty and Alex Jamieson on December 29th, 2014 7:22 pm

It is with a very heavy heart that I write this to the Snell brothers and sisters, We did not know Leonard was sick just found out and we are saddened by this news. Leonard always had a special place in our hearts. He was the best brother-in- law anyone could ever wish for.
He is at peace with the Lord and his Blessed Mother, Billy Paul, and his Parents, and my Mom and Dad, who loved him profoundly. They are all together now. May he Rest in Peace.

Linda and family please accept our deepest condolences. We have all lost one great man. A Father, Grandfather, Husband, Brother, Uncle, Brother-in Law and Godfather.

Leonard you are gone but never forgotten, GBNF…

Betty, Alex, Sandy, and Luanne and families.xoxo

Condolence from Bernadette and Derek Brayley on December 30th, 2014 12:19 am

Darren, my heart goes out to you and your family at this very sad time. I’m sure it meant the world to your Dad to have you by his side to love and comfort him. He must have been so proud to have such a wonderful son. I could see the hurt in your eyes today and hope you will lean on all the people who love and care for you to get you through this very difficult time.

Condolence from Bernadette and Derek Brayley on December 30th, 2014 12:23 am

Our deepest sympathy to all of Leonard’s family. We are so sorry for your loss.

Condolence from Dianne on December 30th, 2014 5:33 pm

Saddened to hear that God took Lenny too soon-now free of physical pain and suffering in Heaven.
A ‘most’ Gentle and Kind Brother-in-Law, always warmly welcomed with his genuine greeting-“Hi Honey” followed by a laugh or two and easy going conversation. I always admired Lenny for his wonderful personal attributes including being a very dedicated Family Man ; Father, Husband, Grandfather.
Darren, You will Forever be Gifted and Blessed to have been Fathered by Len. Linda, you will Forever be Gifted and Blessed to have had Len as your Loving and Dedicated Life Partner for many years.
My wishes to all of Len’s Family and Friends to stay strong during this very difficult time, and Cherish the Memories.
Love from Dianne xo
