I am very sorry to hear of Len’s passing. I spent a number of years in the Electric Metal Makers Guild with him. I had the opportunity to become a member of the Executive Committee and Len was always very helpful to me especially during my term as President. I always enjoyed hearing his stories about his time in the Steel Industry and especially his time serving our country. He was a true gentleman that will be missed but never forgotten.
