Len enjoyed a long career as a carpenter, putting his excellent skills to good use until he was nearly 80 years of age. He put his all into everything he did. His passion for country music could be heard far and wide, especially when he pulled out his guitar. More than anything, Len will be remembered as a proud father and a loving husband. His support and devotion to his wife Sharon never wavered, creating lasting imprint of love that will never be forgotten.

He will be greatly missed.

Len’s care and arrangements have been entrusted to the

Pilon Family Funeral Home, Arnprior.

A Celebration of his Life will be planned in the near future.
