Sephanie, and family, we got together with Chris and Chris Webb last Sunday and the stories about Len rolled around the table mixed with laughter and memories. I remember being a (very) young trainee dispensary assistant when I was working in Greers Rd Pharmacy and Len was the tutor at Tech - we actually got some great learning done, not withstanding the fun times in between. Our love and regards to you all in Auckland, and know that many who haven't written ARE thinking of you and holding you in their hearts.

Dear Stephanie and family. Our thoughts are with you today as you celebrate Len's full life. I shared a coffee with Len on Saturday morning in my caravan/trailer prior to the start of activities and he was in high spirits living the Formula Junior life he loved. So sad it ended the way it did.
So sorry we can't be at the funeral today as we're overseas but we'll raise a glass in Len's memory at the appointed time.
Love,
Bev and Pete Boel
