ANDERSON: Len of Lucan

Posted By Haskett Funeral Homes On October 6, 2023 @ 10:54 PM In Lucan,Obituary | 58 Comments

ANDERSON: Len of Lucan

Len passed away peacefully at Jessica’s House in Exeter on Thursday, October 5th, 2023 at the age of 65. Much loved husband of Christine Skow Geertsen-Anderson. Len was a loving dad of Josh and Michelle Anderson of London, and Nick Anderson of Lucan. Incredibly proud Papa of Cassandra and Lucas. Dear brother and brother-in-law of Michael and Lise Anderson, Scott and Bev Anderson, Heather Kelly, Muriel Abbott, Peter Geertsen, and Mark and Cindy Skow Geertsen. Predeceased by his brother Bill Anderson. He will be fondly remembered by his many nieces and nephews.

Len himself asked instead of sending flowers, that you support Jessica’s House, Doing It for Deacon (cheques payable to Jason Smith), or the Nicholas Smith Memorial Foundation. These were causes near and dear to his heart.

A come-and-go celebration of life will be held at the Lucan Legion, 136 Market Street on Saturday, October 28th from 1-3 PM. 


Condolences for the family of “ANDERSON: Len of Lucan”

I am deeply saddened to hear of Lenny’s passing.
Although many years have past I still remember when we chatted, we would kid around about having the same birthday, and Len would always remind me that I was 1 year older :)
Devoted husband/ father and a great friend to so many.
I will hold on to the many memories of Len, growing up in Lucan, golfing, baseball and his infectious smile.

Memories are always wonderful to embrace and will help to comfort the pain during this very difficult time.

Pat

Met Len visiting his place of work to fix the forklifts, over the years we got to build a good friendship, every time I showed up on site, Len would always go out of his way to make sure he came to say hi, and to ask if I needed anything. There wasn’t a single time where I haven’t seen him smiling, my condolences, thoughts and prays to Lens wife and family.
