The obituary notice of Leonard BANKS

Len was always someone that could make anyone feel welcome. Whether he was expecting to see you or whether you’d happened to bump into him, he always had a heartfelt smile and a greeting to make your day. He has also raised one of my favourite people on the planet and I will forever be grateful to him for that. My heart is with Scott and Pam and the rest of the family.

Scott is like a brother to me - and Len, from the moment that I met him along with Pam treated me like family. There was always a smile and a heartfelt welcome, a cheeky joke and he could make anyone instantly feel at home. I’m mourning his loss not just for Scott and Pam but for everyone - a truly kind man and he will be sorely missed. All my love - Conor

In memory of Len, from working at school to breakfast during our trustees' meetings, our thoughts and love are with Pam and the family at this very sad time.

Dad knew how much we all loved him and how much he loved us. Every person who was lucky enough to meet him is better having known him. Dad left the world better than he found it and was unendingly loving, selfless and caring to those around him and even strangers he hardly knew. He took pride in standing up for people who couldn’t stand up for themselves and I will forever be grateful and proud to be his son. I will continue every day to make my life one he would be proud of in his memory. I love you dad and I hope you’re on your best behaviour up there

Dear Pam , Scott and family our thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad and difficult time. God bless you 🙏love Tracey and Darren x x
