The Passing of a Dear Friend - Len Yust

It is with great sadness that we learned of the passing of Len Yust early this morning March 28th. Len had been battling cancer for several months now and passed away where he wanted to, at home with his loving wife Jennifer.

As many of you know, Len was a long time member and advocate of Trout Unlimited. His eight years plus tenure as TU’s Ontario Director boosted the awareness for river and water quality improvement to a level previously unknown in the province. Len worked tirelessly forming new Chapters in Ontario as well as fund raising for the Trout Unlimited Dinner each Fall as well as other TU fund raising events Len ran throughout the rest of the year.

Len received the IWFFC’s Roderick Haig-Brown Award for conservation at the Forum banquet which was presented to him by his long time friend Bill Christmas. Bill had asked me for the honour of presenting the award to Len and we could think of no finer presenter.

Len was humble, kindhearted and generous to a fault and will be missed on so many levels by so many people.
