Bev and family, I knew Lenny, the KB Cowboy, for many years. He was and always will be one of my closest friends. When word of his passing came it went up and down the thruway, many tears were shed, and lots of stories told. The old gang laughed about some of the things that have happened over the years and recalled the happy memories. We will miss him but he will always be running the highways with us.
