Len always makes me smile and feel great. He is an excellent friend. I'm happy he's with Judy again because he missed her so much. He loves everyone in his family. Please know that he is proud of you and wants you to live a beautiful life. Hit 'em straight, Len. ⛳🤗❤️
Our family so loved Len and appreciated our relationship with him and Judy and their family. Len helped our boys with all their scouting, helping them every step to Eagle. He provided a summer job for our daughter, too. We needed his unconditional love and support. Thank you Len for caring and loving others and showing it by the way you lived your life. We love you. Until we meet again you will always be dear to us. As recently as Christmas Len sent us a card sharing his Christmas wishes to us. We wanted so much to be at the funeral but have a previous family commitment that we just can’t miss.
To his family, we love you kids and appreciate being part of your life, though distant now, and send our love to each of you and your families. We will always think of the Len and Judy Pavia family as true friends and loved ones in the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Love, Carolyn and Marc Belliston
Lennie Pavia is my cousin. He and Judy came to the Salt Lake City Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in December of 1983 to be with our family for our first Temple Ordinances. He and Judy have always treated our Family with so much love. We will miss him and will always remember him.
His impish grin will be something I remember about him forever. His face just lit up each time he spoke to the children at the garden or when he gave them pom poms to cheer on their favorite competitor at the Halloween cockroach races at the Butterfly Biosphere. A truly sweet man.
It was my honor and privilege to get to know Len over the 11 years I have worked at Thanksgiving Point. He was one of a kind. His smile and attitude were contagious. He always took the time to greet me and call me by name and somehow always made me feel better about life. He took such joy and pride from his work at Thanksgiving Point and most especially from his family. He will always hold a special place in my heart and his memory will serve as a reminder to many of a life well lived. My heart goes out to Len’s family at this difficult time and I hope that you can find peace.
Best Grandpa all around 💙
As a Thanksgiving Point employee, I had the opportunity work with Len on a number of occasions during his 20 years of volunteer service at Thanksgiving Point. He was remarkable! Everybody loved Len. And when I say everybody, that means all the other volunteers, the Thanksgiving Point guests, and Thanksgiving Point employees. Len was dedicated and kind. He made everyone feel special. We greatly miss him!
