I first met Len on a Myrtle Beach golf trip in 1981. I jokingly called it the first annual golf trip, but that’s what it turned out to be.
Len ran the trips and made sure everything worked out well, which it always did. Later, as we got older, the golf trip moved to Ocean City MD.
Meeting Len was a pleasure. Getting to know Len and become friends was , I believe, a special gift from God. Not many people have had a friend as special as Len.
Len, I’m happy your back with Pat, but darn, you’re so missed by all.
We had many valuable members at Pennsauken Country Club during my forty one years of employment, but, none more admired than Mr. Len Rayca ! One of my all time favorite memories of Len during my tenure was when he arrived one morning to play in the senor scramble. Our conversation turned to " growing older " as in the Golden Years ". To that he said, " Q, these aren't the Golden Years, these are The Tarnished Years " ! May he shoot even par in Heaven and set many course records !
Len was always entertaining on the golf course. He demanded perfection in his game, and none of us could meet that standard including him. His friendliness will be missed. RIP Len, see you on the angels course some day.
To say that Uncle Len will be missed is an understatement. Being the last of the 5 Rayca brothers, his passing brings an end to a grand era . They were all characters that left their mark through hard work, dedication to duty to service, raising families and always sharing their stories. They left a legacy of love and Uncle Len carried that on to the end. He was a true gentleman and had many accomplishments of his own like his love and gift of poetry, his golf , generosity to all as well as his business acumen. Our only consolation is that he is now reunited with the love of his life, Aunt Pat, Michael and the Rayca clan, whom I am sure met him at the gates. I know God has blessed him and also us for having had him in our lives, Love Jan and Bob
The loss of a truly incredible man who was a really great and loving inspiration to so many.
Uncle Leonard you will be missed beyond measure. Much love and please say hello and kiss the rest of the family for me, a blessing you are all together and until we meet again 🙏🏻
Dear Phyllis, Steven and Ken,
Sending you my deepest sympathy.
Your Dad was such a kind and loving man.
I remember when he came to my home to visit my Dad for his 95th birthday. Two brothers, sitting and reminiscing about the good old days. We laughed, we cried, and I knew, deep down, that your Dad realized it would be the last time he saw his beloved brother. He drove all the way to Chicago to see him. That’s the kind of man he was.
He will always be in my heart and I picture him now, in heaven, sitting with his brothers, catching up on all of the latest news.
I pray that the wonderful memories you have of your Dad will bring you comfort during these most difficult days and that, in time, those memories will turn your tears to smiles.
Rest in eternal peace, Uncle Leonard.
Give Aunt Pat and Michael a kiss from me.
Love,
Karen
Uncle Leonard, you were the best. I am so happy I spent time with you last week and we got to express our feelings of gratitude and love. To know you are with Aunt Pat and Michael makes your passing a bit easier. I bet your brothers and parents are happy to be with your soul again. Rest easy.
Love, Geraldine
