Born in London, England Len started working in the foundry in the mid thirties where he was retained in essential services throughout the second World War. During the dark days of the early forties he would be in the foundry 24 hrs a day, leaving sometimes at night during the raids to extinguish fire bombs and engage in rescue operations. In July of 1941 he married his sweetheart, Queenie Langridge who at the time was a munitions worker. Len made the momentous decision to immigrate to Canada in 1957 bringing his wife and two young children, his sister in-law and mother in- law. Originally settling in Ottawa to work in Bonds Foundry in Eastview Len practiced his knowledge of metallurgy to cast among other things the Coat of Arms for Ottawa which still adorns The Ottawa City Hall. In 1958 he was offered a position as Superintendent of the Alloy Foundry in Merrickville making that town his home for the next fifty years. In the nineteen sixties he was offered a position in Pennsylvania which he turned down instead moving from the Iron foundry to the expanding Grenville Casting, a magnesium and aluminum foundry so as to stay in Merrickville. In his early sixties Len left the foundries to become part owner of Rogers Plating which he retired from when nearly seventy. Len spent his retirement years doing community service in Merrickville with the Lions club which he had been a member of since 1964. Len still continued doing pattern making for the Alloy Foundry until he reached the age of eighty four. After losing Queenie in 2009 and following some health issues Len moved from Merrickville to Willowdale Retirement Home where he spent his remaining years.
