I was a friend of Leonards from high school but hadn't seen him in years until I ran in to him at Tops last year ,He shared with me his struggle but still had that warm smile and positive outlook.When I read of his passing I was so saddened because I know the world has lost a good man.I'll always remember him.

Sandy and Steve... Please know that my heart goes out to you at this most difficult time. Our families shared good times so many years ago, especially playing cards on West Lake Road. It saddens me to know the pain you are feeling. May you find comfort in knowing that Lenny is now at peace.

Lenny was a classmate of mine at Hornell High School....I am saddened by the news that a good man and old friend has left us. My memories are of a pleasant, interesting and good natured person who I enjoyed being around. We talked and laughed together in another lifetime some 30 years ago. We'll talk and laugh again someday. I will always remember Lenny as my friend and someone I am better person for having known. HHS Class of '79 remembers....

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of the Panagiotatos family in this time of sorrow. Please accept our deepest sympathy, and know that we are here for you should you need us.
I have many wonderful memories of Lenny, from my highschool years to seeing him at a soccer game hoisted on crutches many many years later, and that 4th of July picnic at Lisa's with all our families just relaxing and having a great day. (just to name a few.)
It was a pleasure to know him, and an honor to call him friend.
Rest in Peace Len, you no longer have to fight.
Ellen Kimball, Jason, Shawna and Sara Kuras, and Kelly (Bean) Kimball

I am so glad I got to know Leonard. I prepared his Income Tax Returns for many years. I found him to be a happy, outgoing man and a very good father. He will be missed by many; including me.

You have my deepest sympathy, may he rest in peace.

You were the best, courageous, strongest man I have ever known. I was proud to be your wife and partner. Even though all times were not our best moments, I loved you through them all. I am glad you are with Jesus and in his loving arms not suffering anymore. You touched many lives with your smile, humor and love especially mine. You will be greatly missed but never forgotten.
