February 14, 1947 – August 28, 2023
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of husband, stepfather, grandfather, great grandfather, cousin, brother, and friend, Leonard Pettit. Len passed away surrounded by his family and loved ones.
He is survived by Wilma, Jane & Phinder, Michael & Liliana, Nadya & Will, Natasha, Cameron, Mirabelle & Milo, Don, Glenda & family, Patricia & Karen, Donna and Jack, and his many friends.
He worked for 39 years at the Hammond Mill. While Len spent most of his life in Maple Ridge- he and Wilma travelled to Europe and North America. Len was an avid newspaper reader, TV news watcher, and loved discussing current affairs. He also loved to share his stories.
His passions were photography and documenting his family and friend’s lives. He sat on the Maple Ridge Heritage Commission and spent a lot of time archiving the past of Haney, Maple Ridge and the Hammond Mill including uploading heritage photos to the Facebook site – We Call it Haney.
Len was a family man and his family meant everything to him.
He will be missed by so many and has left a legacy of love and photographs for his loved ones.
A Celebration of Life will be on Saturday, October 14th, from 2pm to 4pm, at the Legion Hall, 12101 224 St, Maple Ridge, BC.
