I will always remember my Uncle Lenny as a kind, erudite man with a lovely smile. His devotion to my Aunt Ruthie (l”v) was a living example to me of how a husband should treat a wife.
He was a lifelong friend to my father, Harold Bloom (l” v) and I loved to hear the stories about life in the shetel of Providence.
I hope his loving children have peace, knowing he is at rest.
So sorry to hear of Len’s passing. He was a beloved neighbor and friend to all of us in Fairfield Rd. He and Ruth were always a very special couple. Our deepest sympathies to the children.
Len and Ruth were exemplary neighbors and friends to all for many years in the Eden Park community. My sincere condolences to their loving children during this difficult time.
We are very sorry to hear of the passing of Len.
He was a wonderful neighbor for many years and we will always remember him for all his efforts to meticulously maintain his property.
Sincere condolences to the entire family.
