Condolences & Memories (7 entries)

  • Len was a dedicated volunteer for the sport of lacrosse. He was part of the original group that founded the Manitoba Lacrosse Alumni and then later the Manitoba Lacrosse Hall of Fame and Museum. Len's selfless work made both organizations successful entities in the Manitoba Lacrosse community. If he had a comment- he was direct and to the point, but by the end of the conversation both us would be laughing and smiling. He is going to be missed as a player, coach, and volunteer. Thanks Len! - Posted by: Doug Krochak (Lacrosse Friend) on: Dec 28, 2021

  • Len was a good friend with whom I discussed sports on the phone frequently and had coffee with before COVID. In fact, we had a lengthy conversation a few days before he passed. He will be missed by his many friends in the hockey and lacrosse community. - Posted by: Kent Morgan (Friend) on: Dec 18, 2021

  • I was very sorry to hear of Len's passing. My condolences to his family. Len was a great friend for many years and we kept in touch ever since I moved to Nanaimo over 12 years ago. I used to enjoy the many times we sat over a drink at Tony Romas. I fondly remember the times we use to go out to your cabin at Libau and you made me do all the work including mowing the lawn. I will greatly miss our regular telephone chats. RIP my friend. Jack Cusack - Posted by: Jack Cusack (Friend) on: Dec 18, 2021

  • My prayers and sympathies to your family. Len was a good friend of my late husband Bob. For the past 4 years Len has called every couple of months to say hi and see how I was doing. A very caring thoughtful person. I will miss those calls. Blessings, Lee Rye - Posted by: Lee Rye (Friend) on: Dec 18, 2021
