Don and I were sad to hear of Len's passing. Len was a very good family man and friend to many. I know he will be sadly missed by his family and friends.
All the best to Jennifer and all the family.

Another photo. Len as a "mountain man" of some considerable skill I might add!

Len was a true gentleman in my opinion, always friendly and easy going which I suppose relates to growing up on "the coast", having 6 sisters, and loving the mountains and the outdoors where he admired the work of our creator. He had an imaginative "creative streak"as well as his books including those for children also testify. May peace & blessings be upon Jenny and the family.

A good friend, and faithful follower of our Lord Jesus. We met weekly for many years to pray for God´s work in the wider world during his time in Christchurch. Our heart goes out to Jenny and the family.
