Len was a lifelong resident of Torresdale (Northeast Philadelphia). He worked at his father's auto repair station since he was a young boy, and he enjoyed being a mechanic for many years. He finally retired at the age of 87 (and a half, as he might add). Len loved to work, whether it was fixing a car or mowing the lawn. He never was faced with a task that he didn't enjoy. Len's other passions in life included playing pool (and usually winning), gardening, camping, and woodworking. He handmade and gifted many heirloom pieces to his kids and grandkids. Len was part of America's Greatest Generation and was a decorated WWII Veteran in the European Theatre, earning a Bronze Star and a Good Conduct service medal. Len loved his life and his family, and he will be greatly missed.
