I am both shocked and saddened to see this. Len worked with us at Century 21 Prestige, and while there, he never knew a stranger.
Most knew him as an awesome financial consultant which is where is heart was, but he was such a great Realtor. So Blessed to have worked with him…he was loved and will be missed by so many. Special prayers to Jenny, Mike, and John….he loved you guys so much and of course the grandbkids! Family was always everything to your Mom and Dad. Not a doubt in my mind that your Mom was right there waiting.
To one of the best dressed men I know…..RIP Len….God Speed

So sorry for your most painful loss and so soon after losing your beautiful mother. May Jehovah bring you peace as your lives begin anew. We grieve now but we will all rejoice together in the promised resurrection ‘when all things are made new’ … and we welcome back our friends and families to everlasting life on paradise earth.
