    All thou i never remember meeting Len i can remember my father talking of him often (JAMES F LIPPERT) .

  • Dusty & Nancy Graham

    Experiencing the death of a loved one is so personal that very few of us can understand the grief involved. Perhaps it will help to ease some of the sadness if you know that Len will be greatly missed by all that had the honor to know him. RIP cousin Len, we love and miss you.

  • Greg and Laura Lippert

    Dad never wanted much out of life except a bigger fish and mostly salmon. I hope where he is he can fish all he wants and eat as much seafood as possible. I will miss the phone calls but realizing we are not forever I am blessed with the memories of knowing him. Jeanne has the hardest part and that is to go on with life. We will be here for you should you need us.

  • Clyde Bragdon

    Dear Jeanne,

    The years keep passing by if ever so rapidily. As do our family and friends pass on. I have been forever greatful that Lennie although separated by distance has kept in touch over the years. It was my pleasure and priviledge to have known and worked with him in years past.

    I know he will be missed and may the fond memories of times shared comfort the family and you during these difficult days.

    My Sincerest Sympathy,

    Clyde

  • Fred & Sherrie Thompson

    You will truly be missed Len. You always had a big smile, and kind words and such a positive attitude about everyone and everything. Whenever I see the game, “Roadtrip” at the casino, I will think of you, and remem-
    ber how much you liked that game, and were pretty lucky at it too! Our thoughts and prayers are with you Jeanne, I know this has to be so hard on you, just weeks after his 90th Birthday. You made it a Very Happy Birthday for him. Our Love, Fred & Sherrie
