You hired me Len to work at BIG Kaiser 10 1/2 years ago. You told me one time " I knew you could handle Kaiser" We had a standing joke every Christmas party. I'll miss you my friend. You made my heart smile.I was hoping to see you just one more time, but God had other plans. Be at peace with your loving wife Jackie and all who have gone before you.
