Ann,
Our heartfelt condolences. Len always kept that "can do" attitude that is very rare now a days. I will always cherish my memories of riding with him in the WPMC. We had many fun visits. God bless you and your family. I promise to look you up during my next visit to my mom's house.

My prayers go out to the whole Coverdale gang.

Ann, we are very sorry for your loss, but Heaven has gained a strong man. You have done so much for Len over your life together and especially the last 17 years. I'll never forget Len, not for the accident or the years in the wheelchair, but for the fun and strength he showed.............I'll also never foget the time I talked him into cranking up his Harley in Andy Wys' bedroom while Andy slept...nor will Andy. Yes, Len was a fun loving man and always had a great smile. God Bless the Coverdale Family!

So deeply sorry to hear we have lost another friend & fellow classmate. Len was such a sweetheart & he will be missed by all who knew & loved him. Ann, I know you have strong faith & God will give you the strength to bare your grief. May your heart always stay full with loving memories of a dear husband, father, grandfather & friend. We will miss him at our 55th reunion in September. It won't be the same without both of you there. There are just too many beloved SBHS Bulldogs in heaven already. Love, hugs & prayers to you & all your family.
