I had the pleasure of working with Len at Genest as well as at 217 York Street. I will always remember Len as being a caring, compassionate yet when required stern person. He helped many a troubled youth throughout his career. My fondest memory of Len is playing goal whenever we played ball hockey at Genest. His family and friends have lost a great person. Rest in Peace Len Paul (Pooker) Pook

My sincere condolences to all of your family . I has the pleasure of working with Len at the London Detention Center for youth and Len was my night shift partner. I will always remember Len as a sweet, wonderful, kind , wise and dependable man. He had such a warm and fatherly way about him. We spent many a night, talking all night about family, community, politics, the world etc . Len was a great listener as I am sure I did way more talking than he did. May Len rest in eternal peace. Love Debbie Turnbull

My wife Debbie and I worked with Len at the LDCY in the 1980's. He was our partner. He was a few years older than us and gave our team a sense of much needed maturity. Simply put, Len was one of the finest men I have ever met, one I looked to for advice and a sense of calmness in adverstiy. I have many memories of Len, all of them bring a smile to my face. Rest in peace my friend.

I had the privilege of working with Len Huber at the Genest Centre many years ago. Simply put Len was a great human being. He was a true pro. Thoughtful, loyal and respectful, Len was held in high esteem by his fellow staff and the youth he served. He brought his A-game every day that he showed up for work. He always placed the needs of youth first as well he consistently made decisions in the best interests of youth. I am sure that all of his co-workers in those days would say that they are better people having known him. My sympathy to his family.
