Very sorry to have just read the passing on Lenny. He was a very easy going person and also a dedicated caring gentlemen. We worked together in the Corps of Commissioners here in London for a couple of years. A very funny individual. He had to quit the Corps due to health reasons. Again very sorry to have read this and may God be with you Lenny and also with your family. RIP and Pro-Patria.

Our Sincere condolences to Marg and Family. He was a special friend to me and my family in London, we travel to NB a few time in our prime time, he sure was a gentleman in many ways. I was down to Sovogle a few weeks ago trying to identify where his family lived, not very successful to many changes and now I hear of him going on the advance party. hope he will open the door on our final day. Pro Patria and you will always be in our prayers.
Aldore, Mary and Family

Dear Royals.
I would like to convey my sincere thank you and appreciation for all of the wonderful condolences, heartwarming comments, so freely expressed by many of Leonards, Royal friends. The Regiment, was always a big part of Leonards life and he would speak fondly of the countless and lasting friendships that he so cherish throughout his remaining years.
A sincere and heartfelt thank you to Leonards, Royal family and friends. Pro Patria.
Marg.
