It is with great sadness and sorrow that we announce the passing of our dear brother on June 16, 2023, at the age of seventy-two, passing peacefully in his sleep.
Len was seriously injured playing lacrosse back in 1970 at the age of nineteen and lived for 53 years as a quadriplegic, with the loving care and support of family.
He was predeceased by his dad, mom, sister, Julie and brother Hiroshi. Len will be missed and remembered by his siblings: Ken, Sachie (Harold), Taeko, Yosh (Sharon), Ak (Mia) and Tosh (Marilyn); as well as his niece, nephews, cousins and close friends.
We will cherish the wonderful and happy memories of our time spent with Len.
In lieu of flowers or koden, a donation can be made in the Memory of Len to your favorite Charity or to the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation.
A celebration of Len’s Life will be held later.
