COREY, Len….
Peacefully with this family by his side on Monday, September 30, 2019 at Victoria Hospital, London, Leonard Corey passed away in his 95th year. Beloved husband of Lois (Burton) Corey for 56 years. Cherished father of Alan Corey (Amy Lynn), Paul Corey (Bonnie), Lana Kowolski (Kevin), and Dr. David Corey (Jill McLeod). Loving grandpa of 7 grandchildren and G.P. of 3 great-grandchildren. Dearly missed by his nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his son Robert Corey, his brother William Corey and granddaughter Amber Corey-Crossett.
During his life Len worked for many companies and had the opportunity to travel the world for his job. He was also a long-time Mason and Shriner and in his later years and during retirement, he and his wife enjoyed wintering in Florida for 20 years. He was an avid golfer, obtained his real estate license, enjoyed wood carving and his sense of humour served him well all of his life. Len was also an adherent to Elmwood Presbyterian Church. Through the Alzheimer’s program Len gained a true friend, Lucas, and enjoyed his weekly visits with him over 4 years. The family wishes to thank McCormick Home and the palliative care unit at Victoria Hospital for all of the kindness and compassionate care.

Uncle Len was the quintessential funny man…he always had a funny story, a joke and a contagious laugh and beaming smile. He loved his family and I know was loved by so many. It was always such a great time when we did get the chance to visit. I will miss him, as so many will, but am grateful to have had him in our lives. Love Kerry xox
My wife Sylvie and I had the pleasure of having Len & Lois as neighbours for many years in Ottawa. To sum Len up in a word, he was a “character” always ready to see the funny side of situations or play a joke on an unsuspecting neighbour. We missed them both when they moved to London to be closer to family. Len will be greatly missed and we are all better for knowing and having him in our lives. Rest in Peace my friend.
We had the pleasure of getting to know Len over the past 8 years. He always added a great sense of fun to any group he was a part of. He will be missed by many of his family, friends and acquaintances.
So sorry for your loss Lois . God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
Kerry and I send our love during this difficult time. We are so lucky to have a connection to your family, and saddened by your loss. We’re so thankful Len raised such a wonderful family that has brought us the joy of knowing him through his son, Al. All of our love…Paul and Kerry.
