Friend to My Father, and a Great French Teacher.  

My Deepest Sympathies to the family.

Gloria, Andy, Lynn and family, 

My condolences at the passing of Len, he was a great role model to his students, a tour de force of a father, and always made my mom laugh with his stories.  He is in good company with his daughter, and somewhere in the ether they are smiling and laughing big-hearted laughs while watching over the family.

Lots of love,

Gloria,Andy,Lynn and families.  my deepest sympathy to you. I did not know Len all that well personnally, however, through Michelle got to know him.Michelle told the funniest stores of things Len had done.  He was a very much loved and respected Dad. I hope many memories help you through this time. I think of  all of you often.

I didn't like French, mais j'ai aimé Len, so I suffered through the French part of class because my family gave me a head start in French, Mais d'ordinaire pourrait obtenir le sujet de football pour monter.   I will not repeat what others have said, "Plus a frappé le clou sur la tête." Don't be sad, etre heureux que vous avez eu le hasard lui permet de touche votre vie.

Mr. Legault was my favourite high school teacher. He earned the respect of all his students by being knowledgeable, likeable and caring. I will never forget him. He was able to teach by telling stories and making it real and interesting for us. He taught from the heart. I am saddened by his passing and wish I could have thanked him in person. I am ever so grateful that I had him as a teacher. May he go on to teach and watch over others now. My sincerest condolences to the family.

Truly sorry for the lose of Mr. Legault. He was my teacher and mentor.  He helped to guide many in the best direction and his giant smile always lifted my spirits.  Condolences to his family as I know you will miss him greatly.

I was one of Mr. Legault's students at Thom. He gave me a love of the French language that I have to this day - although my enjoyment created some difficulties for the brothers who followed after me. I know some of my peers thought class was most successful when the Big Guy could be sidetracked into football talk, but I loved Monsieur and Madame Thibault and Paul "qui travaille dans sa chambre". I'm sorry for your loss.

Mr. Legault was one of the favorite teachers at Thom in the late 60's and early 70's for me and my friends.  He was always there for us when we needed him.  A gentle giant.  Missed by all.  My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone who knew him.

So sorry to hear about Mr. Legault. He was my french teacher in grade 9 and 10 (1990-1992) at Thom. At first I was petrified of the man--his legend preceded him. But I soon realized that underneath his gruff exterior was a kind and caring educator. He treated students like adults and taught me that effort is more important than skill. He also taught a generation of people to cover their mouths when they yawn! He was one of the best teachers I ever had. Condolences to the Legault family, Len's big toothy grin will live on in my thoughts.

I am very sorry to hear of Mr. Legaults passing. I remember working on his mustang in motor mech when Andrea was learning to drive. Fond memories indeed!!

To the family- I am sorry for your loss. he will live on in the memories of many! M Legault took me under his wing in grade 10 when I really needed it. Made me laugh right through grade 12...Because I could speak French we chatted daily" to keep up"  He was a fabulous teacher and an amazing gentleman. At my first teacher conference he congratulated me and said" you have to always let them know you like them ,to be a good teacher" he lived those words. Thank you for sharing him!!

My sincerest sympathy to the Legault family.  I learned some of my best lessons from Mr. Legault at Thom and they didn't have anything to do with school or french.  Rest in peace Mr. Legault.  Kelly (Yates) Greenwood.

Dear Legault family,
I had Mr. Legault as my home room teacher and social teacher in 88 at Thom. He was an amazing teacher that made life a lot easier for us newbies. I am sorry for your loss he will be missed and remembered fondly by many.

I'm very sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Legault.  He taught me French in grade nine at Thom.  Like many have said he was tough but fair.  Easily my favourite teacher.  My deepest sympathies go out to his family.

TO A DEAR FAMILY,  
I AM SO SORRY TO HEAR OF THE LOSS OF LEN FROM YOUR LIVES.  FIND SOME COMFORT IN KNOWING THAT YOU NOW HAVE ANOTHER ANGLE WATCHING OVER ALL OF YOU. SENT WITH LOVE, LAURIE ELL

My sympathies to the family.  Mr. Legault was my French teacher at Thom Collegiate.  He was demanding but fair and strove to push us just a little bit further.  I am better off for having known him.

I will always remember the "Big Guy" We had a lot of good times together at Thom. The "White knuckle " rides in his truck, Lenny coming into my classroom to turn down the volume on my film projector, so he could teach french next door with out the sound of the second world war aerial battles drowning him out. Again riding in his truck , the cab of it "fogged in" as a result of his cigar. I will always remember his laugh, and his playful teasing. He was a great friend, always willing to help.  I am grateful to have been a friend of the "Big Guy ". My condolences to the family.

Almost 30 years ago I needed a teacher like Mr.Legault, I was fortunate he was who he was! I was also fortunate to get to see him after graduation a few times , so he could see the young man I became as a result of his caring for my well being. He will be missed! Sorry for your loss.

Ian and family;
Our thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of sorrow.

I have found memories of my French class with Mr. Legault.  He was a dedicated teacher and always wanted the best from his students!  I have fond memories of his sense of humour and great story telling ability!  He had made an impact on my life and I still recall the funny stories he would tell in class.  Thinking of you at this difficult time of sorrow.  He will be missed.

Sorry to hear of Mr Legault's passing.  I remember him as a teacher at Thom back in the early 1970's.

My sincerest condolences to the Legault family. M. Legault was my French Grammar teacher at Thom.  He was a great, no non sense, tough teacher with a great sense of humor.  He will be missed.

Gloria and family so sorry to hear about Len. I'll miss having those little chats with him at the lake.

Legault Family,
I had Mr. Legault as one of my teacher's at Thom and I remember him as one of the better ones.  My deepest sympathy to your family.

Len was such a great character-I loved his story-telling and leading discussions of philosophy at the poker table! He was a great role model. I always wanted to be loved and respected by my family as much as he is by all of you. Len had a rich and full life, lived on his own terms. That is all any man can ask. Please accept condolences and best wishes from our family.

Len was such a great anchor to that wonderful Thom staff. We shall miss him.
G.R.

Gloria and family,
I was very saddened to learn of Len's passing. He touched many students lives and played a particularly important role in my development as a person and football player. Gruff and tough but most of all, kind and caring, that was Len. Sincere condolences upon the loss of a good man
