Len retired from Chrysler Canada after 30 years at the young age of 50. He was an avid hunter and fisherman, loved boating, woodworking, enjoyed his winters in Florida and his summers in Muskoka. Len loved a good time with his family and friends and was always the first to jump in if anyone needed a hand. A special thanks to Windsor Essex Hospice on Empress Street for their compassion, care and support.
