He was a proud member of the American Tree Farm Association and planted a tree farm in Bruce, Wisconsin with over 14,000 pine trees.

He loved being outdoors and sharing his knowledge with his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Len served in World War II in the Naval Air Corps and then worked for Illinois Bell as a lineman and Installation Supervisor until his retirement.
