Although I had only met Len once or twice. I have heard many great stories about his life and had the honor of experiencing meeting such a great man. Your memories will always live on and I wish to express my deepest sympathy to his loved ones. May the strength and faith stay with this wonderful family through these tough times.
My sincere condolences to you Helen and your entire family. It was an honour to know Len and be able to spend time with you both in Venice Isle and at the cottage. I will fondly remember Len's dry sense of humour which clearly showed in his nickname for me! May your love for each other and the years of wonderful memories help you all through this sad period. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.
Dear Janet, I would like to extend my deepest symathies to you and your family. You are in my thoughts an prayers. May God be with you during this time.
Dear Helen , My deepest sympathy to you & the family.I remember your courting days-fond memories of our lives on Langarth street. God bless. Love ,eElla
Dear Pam My deepest sympathy to you and your family at this very difficult time. "Grampa" was a very special man to many, and loved by all. Although he always gave me crap about leaving my car running in your driveway when I picked you up or not bringing Ruby when we went out for lunch so they could hang out on the front porch, he always made me smile. Know that he is a angel above us now and Ruby & him are just sitting on a different porch looking down on Gramma, Janet, Dave, you and the kids. Take care my friend. Love Always, Jon-Ann
With deepest sympathies from your brothers and sisters of IATSE Local 105

Dear Mrs. Johnson, Janet and Pam, My thoughts are with you all. I remember many fond memories of growing up. I remember good times at your home, cottage, and movies at the Hyland where Mr. Johnson ran the projection. Take Care, Sincerely, Michele
My deepest sympathy to you, Helen, and to the whole family. Len was a wonderful man, funny, devoted to his family, and a great friend to so many. I hope it will be some consolation that he lives on in many hearts. Sincerely, Kathy Harrison
Dear Mrs. Johnson, Janet, Pam, and family, Our deepest and sincere sympathy. Jennifer, Brian, and Liam xo
My condolences to Helen, Janet, Pam and your families. Len was a good friend and colleague for more years than I care to count. I always enjoyed Len's RCAF stories, so "Per ardua ad astra" Sincerely, Gail Inglis
Cousin Len was always one of my heroes - a non conformist with a great dry wit, much like our mutual Uncle Art. Len's passing brings to a close the 'London connection' to my and Len's mother's family, the Millards.
