    Jacqueline my heart goes out to you and your family. Walking my dog every day from only two doors down I would see Lenny sitting on the front steps and we would have a great many conversations. Most of his wonderful stories were about you, the kids and the grandkids. He had a warm heart and a great sense of humor. I miss him very much.

    Dear Jackie, Billy, Meghan and kids

    I’m so sorry for your loss. This horrid disease has taken Lenny way to soon. For the short time we have been “family” I had grown very fond of him. We had some great conversations about old times. If I can be of help or a sounding board, please don’t hesitate to call.
    Love,
    Barb

    Dear Jackie,Billy Megan and Children,.
    I had the pleasure working with Lenny for over 24 years at the Ravena Post office. He was always there helping his fellow coworker’s and a great assect to the post office. It was an honor over the years planning his bridal shower, baby shower at the post office and his retirement. After my retirement I would call him at least once a year on his BIRTHDAY January 6th and we would talk for a very long time. I was happy to visit with him a couple of months ago.He was a great man and I have been blessed to have known him. My deepest sympathy and prayers are with the whole family. Remember all the fond memories.Love and GOD BLESS.
    MARION
