  • Our condolences go out to Len's family. His never ending, happy go lucky attitude will be missed by all at the YMCA-YWCA of Winnipeg South Branch. He was a dedicated member and volunteer at the south branch for many years. He was a caring and generous, strong willed man. Len loved spending time at the Y and made many good friends with members and staff. It was not uncommon for Len to bring the staff tomatoes and apples from his garden. His mischievous smile always kept us on our toes. We will remember Len fondly. From the Staff of the YMCA-YWCA South Branch - Posted by: YMCA-YWCA of Winnipeg (friend) on: Oct 12, 2012
