Leonard Roderick 'Len' MacNeil

Passed in: Sydney North Sydney
Passed on: May 29th, 2015

The passing of Leonard Roderick 'Len' MacNeil, age 81, the only son of the late Hector and Rose (Steele) MacNeil, occurred on Friday, May 29, 2015, at the Northside General Hospital with his family at his side.
Besides his parents, he was predeceased by his wife of 48 years Marilyn Anne (Piehl) MacNeil in January 2006, as well as numerous aunts , uncles and a cousin Joan.
He was the proud and loving brother of Pauline (Tom) Taylor of Ross Ferry, and Laurnice (Roy) MacLeod of Dartmouth. He carried a silent admiration for his nieces and nephews Lisa, Jennifer, Ian and Kyle.
Len was a private person as evidence by the obituary that he wrote. However, we his sisters wish to share his everyday persona. Leonard was honest, sincere, witty, sarcastic, a man of his word and always willing to lend a helping hand when necessary. We always knew that he was there for us at any time, for whatever reason. For the past few years he battled cancer with humour, courage and dignity and faced death in the same manner.
Len has requested that there be no visitation or religious ceremony. Cremation has taken place.
Memorial donations can be made to a charity of choice.
Funeral arrangements are under the care and direction of W.J. Dooley Funeral Home, North Sydney.
Online condolences may be sent to www.wjdooley.com.
“May only fond memories remain with you”
