It is with peaceful hearts and loving memories that we remember Leonard Francis Poole. Len passed away peacefully at LHSC – University Hospital on December 15, 2020, in his 95th year. Beloved husband to Jean (Coursey) Poole for over 69 years. Loving father of Carolyn, Jeffrey (Kathryn), and Warren (Jessie). Cherished grandfather of Katherine (Chris), Alison, Laura (Craig), Alan (Hope), Kimberly (Aaron), Jennifer, and Jonathan. Great grandfather of Bryson, and Blake Brereton and Nash Poole. Lovingly remembered by many nieces, nephews and cousins. Predeceased by parents Walter and Elizabeth, siblings Alice, Emily, Gladys, Bessie, George, John and Donald. Len was a licensed electrician in the construction industry then became an electrical inspector with Ontario Hydro. He enjoyed playing a round of golf or going for a drive in the car, but most of all, spending his time with the grandchildren and his family.
