My most sincere condolences on the passing of Len recently. I worked with him at Western University for several years where he specialized in staff training.
Len always presented himself as a knowledgeable and professional human resource manager who inspired others to do their best. His straightforward and friendly manner earned him the respect and appreciation of others over many years.
Rest in peace, Len, and thanks for giving so much to so many over the years.
