Leonard leaves his beloved daughter Angel and Mike Kelly and their children Austin, Jaden, and Landon.

Len grew up in Michigan where he was a mason and general contractor with his brother Richard for many years. In 1979 Len pulled up roots, moved to Florida, and started a handyman business where he did any type of project until finally retiring at the age of eighty-seven.

Len loved to collect tools, art, antiques, and flea market treasures. Len never saw an item that should be discarded building a vast collection of old stuff.

Len loved spending time with his family and always enjoyed life’s simple moments.

Len was a polite, quite spoken old-fashioned gentlemen always surrounding himself with family, kids and often traveling to visit all around the country.

In a remarkable age of hi tech, Len never installed cable TV or the internet, instead relying on rabbit ears and newspapers and keeping life simple.

Visitation will be held on Tuesday, March 29, 2022 from 1:00 - 2:00 at the Kraeer - Fairchild Funeral Home, 4061 North Federal Highway, Fort Lauderdale. Len's funeral service will commence at 2:00 immediately upon the conclusion of visitation.
