Then, he and his wife began a new adventure by opening The Hut Family Restaurant 42 years ago.

He loved making his own secret meatloaf recipe and homemade soups.

He was also “The Best Breakfast” cook in town…Len will always be remembered for his picture-perfect breakfasts…sometimes, with more than a little “enthusiasm” in the kitchen.

Len had no real “hobbies”…always work… always making repairs and working on his water garden and landscaping. His grandchildren were his pride and joy….summer was always enjoyable with the grandchildren and friends swimming in the pool.

He is survived by his wife, Barbara. Daughters, Pamela (Thomas) Ross of Brockway, Peggy (Carl) Tamin of Brockport, PA; and Barbara Iddings of Bedford, PA. One son Leonard (Tammee) Iddings of Holtwood, PA.
