I was very sad to learn of Leonard's passing. I have many
fond memories of Lenny dating back to when he
coached our eighth grade softball team at Our Lady of Lourdes
in 1956. Whenever we would see each other at Chase Park
reunions organized by Billy Haig, I enjoyed seeing him and reminiscing. I remember Lenny as a friendly, good looking and all around good guy.
I am sorry for your loss.
