He was a 1978 graduate of Rockville High School and later attended the E.C. Goodwin Technical High School in New Britain, CT. Len enjoyed a lifelong career as a sales representative.

He had once coached boys soccer in Clifton Park, NY and girls soccer in Mechanicville, NY and he formerly served as a high school football referee with the Capital District Football Officials Association. Len enjoyed traveling and had recently, with his sons, visited Ireland and Washington State. He reserved a special place in his heart for Aspen, Colorado, Delray Beach, Florida and Bar Harbor, Maine.
