Leonard, I still miss you my friend.  You were a great boss who always offered words of leadership wisdom and development.  I miss our dinners and movies together.  I miss the times we would go to the Stanford USC football games. I miss getting together for the Super Bowl and over eating on onion dip, chicken wings, and spaghetti but having a wonderful time with Aiko and you.  Most of all, I miss our conversations about life and our times in the military.  I was going through a photo album and I found quite a few pictures that stirred fond memories.  You were like a second father to me.  Life has been different since you went to heaven. I look forward to spending time with you again when my own time comes!

Len, you will be deeply missed. Thanks so much for the opportunity to have worked with you for 7 years, you were a great mentor, will always remain as my favorite/nicest manager of all time.
Our deepest sympathy and condolences to Aiko and family.   

I was taken by surprise of Len's death and am so saddened to hear of his passing.  Len was a warm, funny and true friend.  Len was so proud of his children and loved showing us pictures of his grandchildren, he was such a proud father and grandfather.  I am so thankful for having the opportunity to have worked with Len for so many years, what a great person.  My sincerest condolences.

Len not sure what I’m gonna do missing those every two week talks and asking if Aiko is home and basically talking about nothing remember the on going joke that if aiko is home I gotta go because I was scared of her not really just a joke I miss you sir 

While reading through these shared memories of Len, it’s clear how his presence enriched others lives in a very deep, personal way. I’ve had the opportunity to meet him a handful of times throughout the years, where we were brought together by the sad circumstances of an in-laws passing.  Though our conversations were short, amidst many Sanji family members also wanting to “catch up” with Len & Aiko during their visit, I always walked away with a profound appreciation for his humor and for his unassuming nature. I didn’t know Len well like I wish I had, yet there was this immediate sense of authenticity and sincerity about him still, a feeling that he extended respect and truly cared about those around him.  My sincerest condolences to Aiko & Len’s family.

Len, thank you for the opportunity to work with you.  You were definitely a mentor over the years. May you Rest In Peace.   I feel very blessed to have known Len and share a piece of his life.  May God bless his family with comfort. 

My condolence to the family. He was always a very friendly man.  I enjoyed working with him. 

Len, you were one of my many mentors during my banking years.  You were always kind  to me.  My condolences to your family, you will be missed.  Rest easy.  

Leonard was a gentle giant. I remember him from HSBC and how friendly and caring he was with everyone. It was my pleasure to have known him. My prayers go out to his family. 

My condolences to Leonard's family.  He was such a wonderful gentle man, he was great to work with on projects.  He was always a team player and  very helpful in every way.  You will be missed. 

I'm so saddened to hear of Len's passing. He truly was a gentle giant. I can remember sitting with him in meetings and people who didn't really know him, being quite intimidated. 
He treated you with kindness, dignity and respect. He encouraged greatness, and his dry humor refreshing. 
Prayers and blessings of peace, love and light to your many friends and family. An angel arrived today.

I learned a lot from Leonard.  He expected you to live up to your potential and not by your peers and coworkers. I loved his dry sense of humor. My favorite is when I used the word "outstanding".  He would ask, "why are you sitting then?"

I'll miss him! My warmest condolences for his family!


Leonard was this big giant that I thought to be intimidateing because to me he toured over everyone. One day I needed to discuss something with him I cannot tell you how terrifying that day was but he was the most caring person, he was there to help and to really listen. Rest In Peace you will be missed by so many. Prayers for your family and peace be with you.

Leonard was a very good man.   I really got to know him during my last few years at HSBC.   He always had a well thought out opinion and made you feel respected.  RIP. 

I never had the honor of working with Leonard. I would always see him in the hallway on my way back from the cafeteria. I was always surprised at his sincerity when he would take the time to say good morning and chat with me. It is surreal when you can remember that last encounter, not knowing it was to be the last. You were a good man Leonard and will be missed. Take care and God bless.

I had the distinct pleasure of working for and with Len. He was a great mentor, leading by example. He was also a dear friend! He will be missed 

My thoughts and condolences are with your family.  I worked with Leonard at HSBC for many many years.  Smart, kind and encouraging are the words that pop in my mind when I think about him.  A family man with good core values.  He always took the time to say “good morning” and would stop and chat with everyone.  Great man, great heart.  Rest In Peace Len 🙏❤️

I worked with Leonard at HSBC. He had a sweet and quiet presence. I'd walk passed him in the hallways and was always greeted with a smile and how are you doing. He will be missed. 

Leonard seen the talent in people that sometimes they did not see in themselves and would acknowledge and encourage confidence in that talent.  He had a magnificent heart and a way about him that brought out the best in others  not only for the company but for themselves. I thank you Leonard for sharing your confidence in me which helped me see and embrace the talent that I had in myself. You will always be remembered and loved for the great friend and coworker that you were.  I cherish the advice, guidance and confidence that you demonstrated.   Rest in perfect peace dear friend... you are loved and will be deeply missed.

I remember Leonard as the "quite giant" while working with him at Household Credit Services.  I think Leonard mentored so many of us without us recognizing.  And, I oftened would seek his guidance on difficult decisions.  RIP

I was just wondering about Leonard recently. He’d said he might return to IL once he retired, and I was hoping we could meet up. He was one of the kindest men I’ve ever known. Working with Len at HSBC was a pleasure. He will be missed.

I know that Lenny was well loved and respected. He had great character and a big heart. You have my deepest, sincerest sympathy.
