I’d like the memory of me
To be a happy one.
I’d like to leave an afterglow
Of smiles when the day is done.

Posted on: Tuesday, May 21, 2024I am so sorry to hear of Len’s passing. I was one of his younger partners in the CA firm Harbinson Glover & Co. which later merged with Deloitte. We all learned a lot practicing with Len. He knew how to work hard, play hard and mentor the younger staff in the firm. My fondest memory of Len was him smiling in his office enjoying every day. Not taking life too seriously.
