.Len appreciated “the good stuff”. He was an outdoors-man who loved fishing, hunting and being with his buddies. His fish fries were legendary! Len’s garden was always a source of pride and he enjoyed sharing with others. Len spent years helping young men in Boy Scouts achieve their Eagle Scout status. Later in life, Len took up woodworking and created beautiful heirloom pieces for his family. He and Joyce were long time winter residents of the Tiki community on South Padre Island, Texas. Leonard was a 38 year employee of NSP, retiring in 1994
