An avid audiophile, Len had a taste for jazz, Frank Zappa, and 1970’s Japanese Rock Music. He enjoyed building computers and stereo equipment. He was known for being good with his hands, as he could fix almost anything. Most importantly, Leonard was a savvy shopper with a keen eye for quality and value in clothing, housewares, construction and art.
