Coach Len West Memorial Clinic
Leonard Robert (Coach) West, age 69, of
Woodstock, passed peacefully on July 4,
2017, with his family at his side, following a
valiant battle with cancer.
Leonard was born in Oak Harbor,
Washington, to loving parents, Ralph and
Jane West, on March 12, 1948, while his
father was stationed there. His family then
settled in Florida where he graduated from
Lyman High School (Longwood), and later,
Florida State University in 1972 (where he
was also a coachs assistant). Also, while at
Florida State, he met his loving wife of 47
years, Gayle. Leonard was known to many as
Coach. He was a wonderful mentor, and
influence, as a basketball/baseball coach for
many years at Metter High School, Auburn at
Montgomery, Etowah High School, and
Gordon College. His hobbies included golf,
collecting sports memorabilia, and loved
nothing more than spending time with his
wife, children, and grandchildren.
