Len, you lived your life to the full! Helped everyone where you could – even though you weren’t a committee man (your own words)!
You were a many-faceted person and had many varied interests and talents.
We, of course, remember you, Norma, Jennie, Graeme and Alan from our long association at the Heretaunga Boating Club – started in 1971. We heard many stories today at the funeral about your exploits while sailing.
A life well lived!
Len my cousin and friend, from early days in Eastbourne. Stayed with Len and Norma many times and enjoyed those times so rest in peace and thank you for always keeping in touch. Enjoyed being your crewman at times sailing, fond memories I will miss you. Thank you, Jennifer, for keeping us informed. Love Lesley and Roy Brown
