In memory of

Leonard Warren Sawyer

February 22, 1925 -  September 7, 2016

Sawyer, Leonard Warren
1925-2016

Passed away on Wednesday, September 7, 2016 from complications of Dementia in the Veteran Centre at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre at the age of 91.

Survived by his beloved wife, Glenna and four children – Jeff (Lou), Peter (Jennifer), Scott (Lee) & Sarah. Proud Grandpa “Pamps” to 10 grandchildren – Andrew, Kellie (Victor), Brooke, Diane, Hayden, Tyler, Samantha, Kyle, Ryan & Michael, and new great-grandfather to Brody. Predeceased by siblings Irene Cook (Bert), Doris Hogarth (Stan), Norma Watkins (Tom) and Jack Sawyer (Tovee).

Len’s larger than life personality and legendary sense of adventure will always be remembered by family, friends, fellow veterans and co-workers at Ford Motor Company and Ford Lincoln dealerships throughout southern Ontario.

Thank you to the outstanding staff at the Veterans Centre at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, for their gentle and patient care. A special thank you to Carlene, for showing such kindness to both Len and Glenna.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Alzheimer’s Society.

Time and illness may make you forget what you did five minutes ago, but nothing can make you forget where you came from or who loved you.

My deepest sympathy to Glenna, Scott, Wanda Lee, Jeff, Peter and Sarah. Len was so well loved with his wonderful sense of humour, kindness, gentleness and quick wit. No one could cook a Christmas Turkey like Len which we looked forward to every year. We had so, so many good times together with Len and Glenna. Memories never to be forgotten. RIP Dear Len.

Glenna, Jeff, Pete, Scott and Sarah. We are so very sorry to learn of Len's passing. We have great memories of football in the yards and Argo cheers! And don't forget PowWowPoint! Bruce and I were recounting memories of Len on Wednesday night coincidently as he had come for the funeral of Monica's mom in Peterborough. We did not know he had passed that morning. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I have always said that the highest praise for a person is, " he was a good guy". Len was a good guy. Gary

Len Sawyer was an awesome man with a very caring heart. Years ago he would be the one General sales manager (Birch cliff Lincoln Sales) who would often times come out on to the shop floor and purchase morning coffee for the technicians and always had a conversation with them. I know you will be missed by all who were lucky enough to know you. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family. May peace be with you
