One response to “Len Hobbs Leg d’Hon”

    Dear Len,

    You were a wonderful friend, and still are.

    We already miss the stories of the WW2 Normandy landings, all those years ago, and the
    tales that you had to tell. Many of those were horrific and personal, to say the least, but you were always keen to move forward with your sense of fun and your your smile.

    In recent years, you donated your time and considerable energy to the local branch of the Normandy Veterans Association, in Southend, and thereafter to The Spirit of Normandy Trust. You served both with great effervescence, yet compassion, always mindful of those, who never came back.

    In the summer of 2016. with my soon to be wife, Maria, you and your colleagues welcomed us with amazing warmth at the Southend Branch meeting of the NVA, just a few weeks before our wedding. You were overflowing with good wishes before our big day, something that we have never forgotten.

    Rest in peace our dear friend. Our love and best wishes to all your family, and all those to that you represented over so many years.

    We salute you in every respect and may God bless you.

    Maria and Michael Horton
