Nicole, please know I always enjoyed the chats I had with your father. I always found him to be a very caring man, a loving father and all around really nice guy. Honestly if it wasn’t for another “project” getting in the way I could have talked to him all day and kept him from visiting you. Yes, Len was one of the good guys. The thoughts and prayers of the Murray and Partridge family are extended to Nicole, Joanne and the entire family.
