I've known Lenny since I was a kid growing up with Kelly. He always made me laugh and was truly a character. When Lenny and Janet walked into a room, it lit up with laughter and a sense of family and comfort. Sending so much love to you all.

Somewhere a journey begins at the end of the worldly existence we know,
Somewhere a path stretches over the stars and river of memories flow...
Somewhere a silence is heard far away and the brightness of day fills the night
Where the trials of life are resolved into peace when a soul finds its way to the light.
May it comfort you to know that your loved one in now at peace

Lenny,
I will never forget you. I have known you for over 30 years, and you have touched me in ways you will never know. I could always count on you for anything. I am going to miss you. Janet I am so sorry. You know where to find me. Love you.

You will be greatly missed on the block, Len! Who will be there to call me when the garage is left open or to give me a jab about cleaning the house or cooking dinner. It was a pleasure to know you and call you our friend.
