My thoughts and condolences are with Len's wife and family! Len was a dear friend and co-worker for many years and I enjoyed his company, conversations, and friendship! Most memorable was our road trip to Kentucky last year to meet with Len's marine buddies for a reunion and it was an honor for me. I will always treasure Len's friendship and keen sense of humor. I'll miss you Len!
