On the morning of Sept. 5, 2015 my life was sent back some forty-three years as I was put into the same room as Len. I was sitting on the toilet when I realized it was my old and dear friend Len in the bed next to me. Len was best friends with Sid Glow, Keith Mclash and Gordie Hochman, who I worked for at Superior Foods Ltd. We all went on Fridays to the "Oasis Del. on Main St. for the biggest Corn Beef Sandwiches I had ever seen as Gordie would take over the family restaurant and would make sure nobody left hungry. The first two days that Len and I had together were filled with all the old memories that we had lived, the good times and the bad ones as that's life. Len was a pillar of the construction industry, a nurse asked Len if he would like to look out the window at the shopping strip mall on Concordia Ave. Len replayed "Why" I built it in 1973. Len told me his greatest build was Two Hundred and Twenty-Nine homes in "Pickerel Lake, Ontario in a space of two years. Wow!!!!! I'm very lucky to have met and have him as a friend. Good-Bye dear Friend. - Posted by: Clair Conover (Old Friend) on: Sep 20, 2015
