October 18, 1957 – August 14, 2017
On Monday, August 14th I lost the love of my life, Len, to cancer. Len was diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer in November 2010. With Len’s positive attitude he was an inspiration to everyone and became known as “the miracle man” after enduring 99 chemotherapy sessions. We were blessed with 6 plus years of continuing to live each day after his diagnosis to the fullest with smiles and humor. Len will leave a huge hole in many hearts, including mine. I am proud to have called him my husband.
Len is survived by his wife Heather, mother Vera, brother Vernon Jr., sister Marilyn (Roger) Mounsey, brother Ray (Teri). Nieces Adina, Alanna, Shawna (Darryl), Allison, Jamie, Erin and Cate and Uncle Earl (Joan), Len was pre-deceased by his father Vernon.
Len’s in-laws also played a major part in his life. Dorothy (Jack), David (Carol), Jack, Randy (Cindy), Steve (Christiane,) Dave Junior (Dawn) and Jeremy, Julia, Tony and Allaina.
Len was born in New Westminster but spent most of his years living in Kamloops. He considered himself a “jack of all trades” but operating heavy equipment was his passion. He enjoyed his vacations to Las Vegas and Palm Springs and any time spent with family and friends.
His passing leaves a void in the lives of his many friends. Their true friendship showed all through Len’s illness and especially in the last few days of his life. Too many to mention but you know who you are.
A special thanks to Goldie, Pastor Don, Dr. John Reid, Dr. Gabriel and staff at the Kamloops Cancer Clinic and the caring staff at Marjorie Willoughby.
A Celebration of Len’s life will take place on Saturday, August 26th at 1:00 at the Summit Drive Church, 1975 Summit Drive, Kamloops with Pastor Don Maione officiating.
In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home in Len’s memory.
We are all better human beings for having known Len.
