Dear Jim and Marilyn, Shirley and Blake and all of Leonard's family, I was so sorry to read the news of Len's passing. I have many fond memories of him from the lake and will miss visiting with him as he passed by on his daily walks. Sending my sincere sympathy.

I would like to express my deepest sympathy to Len's family at his passing. He was a special caring sensitive family friend and we'll miss him greatly. He was always thoughtful, the king of networkers supplying us with fresh fish, and blessed us with his delicious homemade relishes and jams. His shared birth date with my husband made June a fun time. My favourite memory of Len is his rendition of dolphin playing charades last Christmas. I'm encouraged that he is with His Saviour now. - Posted by: Cindy Isaak-Ploegman (friend) on: Nov 17, 2017
