Jean, Lisa and to your whole family…. and up in heaven – Hi Len!! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…. ‘that’ generation will be forever missed and their wisdom or a portion of it, likely forever lost. Everything was on a handshake, everything was with trust, in good faith and for the benefit of many not just for the benefit of one’s own self. Len together with so many, built a generation that became successful, created opportunities for others, created jobs and made sure we knew that we could only be accountable to ourselves and not blame others. Albeit he and I were 30 years apart… he knew my father and all his developer friends. I had the PRIVILEGE of dealing with him on his insurance matters and for probably a decade we had never met in person. We had a chuckle and laugh all the time by phone but eventually, always got down to business. He’d share so many stories of the ‘old’ days and I couldn’t get enough of it. Eventually one day I was at a convenient store standing behind some man who was joking around with the cashier… and I ‘knew’ that voice!!. I said ‘are you Len ursini ??… he knew my voice too and we chuckled that it took us that long to meet in person. What a gentleman, professional and I’m sure a great family man! We shall all miss his voice, his candor and his personality and character. I’m sure your generations forward will play on what he provided and we’ll all be better for it! Rest in peace Len… until we see you again! Your friend. Cathy Ciccolini
Dear The Ursini Family,
I am very sorry for your loss. Len and I have known eachother since we were kids and had many memorable times together. Unfortunately, I cannot attend the funeral services as I am having health problems.
Sincerely,

With deepest sympathy for your loss. May you find comfort in your time of sorrow
So sorry I couldn’t make the service today. Condolences to all and best wishes. Len was a great man, definitely one of a kind! Much love. Michael Ursini.
