Thanks for your kind words. Stu Altman
“Lenny” was a kind man with a great heart. I enjoyed taking walks with him to the boulevard when I lived in Providence.
He was fond of the simple things in life like, eating peanuts and sunflower seeds. I will always have those memories with me.
I was proud to call him a friend who I often spoke with about what the “early days” of radio were like. I remember in his later years of employment listening to him on the radio and the pride I felt in knowing him not only as a friend but a Jew to which I could look up to in life.
May he rest in Peace.
Thank you for your kind comments regarding Lenny Iappreciate it. Scott

Dearest Stu,
I never knew your Father, however, having become acquainted with you in the past six months, I am convinced he must have been a good and kind man – just as you are. I hope you will take extra-good care of yourself during this time of loss. I believe our lost loved ones are always with us in spirit. I’m sure your Dad will be with you always. I am sorry for your loss.
