A man who spoke his mind and played the game of life with a straight bat. He appreciated good sportsmanship. We shared good music together. I was blessed to spend time with you dear Len and will miss you as part of my life. condolences to your family and friends and fellow music makers.

My memory of Uncle Len is all those years ago when he came to stay with us for a while in Australia.. along with Auntie Anne and Neil..
I remember him turning up in a sports car and looking very flash I thought..
5 years later we moved back to the UK so as a child I didn’t really understand the importance of keeping in touch with family .. however I have often thought over the years how Uncle Len and Neil were.. Thankfully I managed to share some messages with Uncle Len over the last couple of months and feel blessed that I had the chance to hopefully make him smile at such a sad time..
From all the messages I have seen he had a good life and will be sadly missed.
Always in my thoughts Uncle Len .. love Sharron ♥️

So sad to see this news. I was only thinking about Len the other day when I caught up with the Mitcham Band folks. He was such a gentleman and would always have a big smile and a nod for me when I saw him at rehearsal. Will miss his lovely playing and lyrical way of talking. RIP mate, you made the world a better place with your kindness.

Very sorry to hear about the sad news.

Len was one of the best and will be remembered with a smile.

He was the HR master who seemed to single handedly arrange for us to move out here from BAE UK to BAE AUS to work on the Echidna program back in 2005 along with many others; Rog, Dig, Mark, Bob, Mal, John, Paul also recruiting Rob Tree (RIP) along the way etc.

I remember him telling me stories of how he moved out here to make a new life raising a family and described it as 'magical times'.

Now 20 years later we have managed to do the same and also have 'magical memories' we owe a lot to Len and we are very grateful for that opportunity.

Below is a quote from Len from a message he sent to me after saying thanks after being here 12+ years after getting married and having Jack our boy.

"when I came here in 71 John, was a game changer to a great life...I vowed that if I could ever do the same for someone ,I would...…….you and the lads + yer families, was the chance to give a bit back...…...yer all friends that I'll always treasure mate...😀😀😀😀😀"

It is a true testament to his character and he will be missed!

Y Aye Man
