My condolences to the Linhares family.
Len was such a good friend. He taught me much as we worked together on boat projects and in his shop at East Greenwich High School. His advice was always welcome, too, on life issues. Len was a truly a mentor in the finest sense.
When I think of Len I always remember his big smile while he was at the tiller or wheel of a sailboat heeled over in a strong blow.
I will miss you, friend, but I know you are in the safest harbor.
Steve, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
Nancy and family. Bob and I were saddened to learn of Len's passing. Such a wonderful man and could he talk! Bob is missing his gym buddy so much and we both miss our lunches with you and Len. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
My deepest sympathy to Nancy and the entire Linhares family. I will keep Lenny and his family in my thoughts and prayers. Rest In Peace Lenny.

So saddened to hear about Len’s passing. I only knew him from the Newman Y, but we had formed a great friendship. Len loved to talk and I would listen. His sweet tooth rivaled mine and we had many talks about where to go to get treats. He was a wonderful man and I will miss him very much. He had a lot of joy for living.
