Len
You absolute Panmure legend - our hope and link to the past.
Superb story teller, fantastically good company always.
Master Rower, Dynamic Brickie, and a sound sense of reason and empathy always. A true gentleman and fine example of someone who lives life to the fullest. Always genuinely interested in others, Panmure will surely miss you and some seriously good times have left with you. Friends from the Golden Triangle.
Gods speed Uncle Lenny
Love Peter & all the Tattersall Families

Lenny
A true legend till the end.
Our link to the Panmure stories from the past, always engaging, extremely funny and with a genuine concern for others. Stalwart oarsman, master brickie, and a passion for life, like no other. Advice always at hand.
Be with your old Panmure mates now - slurping gins, placing bets and spinning those classic yarns all over again.
RIP Len

It's been awhile since we have caught up, but the memories feel so recent. Thank you for the many fatherly yab dabs to straighten out any harebrained ideas that I might have had and the support when I needed it. Stories from your leather chair with a Gin in hand with the biggest grin and distinctive laugh. You had the same love and support for Britt and Ryan, for which, I know that they are grateful for and for always being welcomed into your arms. Such a lovely heart dear Lenny with the strength of a true man. Absolutely there is everlasting life and the essence of you will always be here for which no appointment is necessary. Debs, Britt and Ryan. XOXO

Thanks for the phone calls. I will miss them. Not so much the horse racing tips! Dad (Brian Main) might be the only footy team member left now..enjoy the Ellerslie Eagles in the sky. Thanks for taking the role of my godfather all those years ago. You certainly did a good job checking up on me over recent years when things got tough. RIP Lenny. Much love Helen, Brian, Jenny and Carol
