Leonard Albert Amiel

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our father and brother Len Amiel. Born in Grandview Hospital on Victoria Drive Vancouver, BC. Predeceased by the love of his life Mary (Volpatti) Bridge, and his first wife Joyce (Legge) Bloom, and also a sister Shirley (Amiel) Radford. He is survived by a brother Ron Amiel (Lil), a son Wayne Amiel (Collette), a daughter Colleen Willsher (Gord), a daughter Darlene Amiel (Brad), a step-daughter Sally Baird (James) and a step-son Cal Bridge. 10 Grandchildren, 4 Great-grandchildren and many nieces, nephews and cousins. Len worked at many different jobs starting in 1941 delivering the Province Newspaper, until he settled at BC Tel in 1951 for 34 years of service as a draftsman. Over the years Len enjoyed a great variety of hobbies including: Boating, Camping, Fishing, Square Dancing, Traveling, Woodworking, Book Writing, and last but certainly not least, his passion for Genealogy. After he retired he liked to joke that he was busier now than when he was working. Len was a friendly, honest and very likeable man who made many friends along the way. He will be missed, admired and remembered forever.
