If Len had not given me a chance over 5 years ago I would not be alive today. He helped me regain my humanity and my soul.
I had the opportunity to work with Len for 3 1/2 years at J. K. Trucking. I had moved to Lethbridge from the North Battleford area. He was the first to call me and welcome me to J. K. and we hit it off right away. I was only in my mid 20’s, didn’t really know very many people in the city, etc., so Len kind of took me under his wing. I could talk to him about anything, and he would not only listen, but give me advice, would always steer me in the right direction and help me build my self confidence. I was very lucky to have ever known a man like him. I wish the very best for Judy and the boys. You deserve the best. It seems like just yesterday when we laughed so hard we had tears in our eyes when justin tried to cut his own hair, and so many other fond memories. It is March 6/2014 today, and there haven’t been any days where I haven’t thought about him. Take care.
