    Lenny was a dear friend and a comfort to me during my wife’s illness, always offering his assistance. He proved the slogan wrong “that only the the good die young”

    Jane, I just saw Lenny’s obit and wish I knew I would have come of course. He used to pick Lynn up at my house for sleepovers in High School and enjoyed having coffee with my mom and dad. My mom’s family had a small Jewelry shop so Lenny and Terry would have lots to talk about and my dad Joe and him both veterans. I loved your dad. Sending you love and hugs to you and Evan .
