I worked with Len at Big Four Sales / Stylerite Stores from Sept 1970 till Feb 1972. His friendly, pleasant manner stood out. While he had a demanding job, as buyer and manager of the head office footwear dept, he always appeared to be happy - Posted by: Douglas Byl (co-worker) on: Nov 19, 2019

I just learned this piece of sad news. My most sincere and deepest condolences to the Harris Family. Len was a very honorable old fashion good temper gentleman with a smile on his face all the time.
