Lenny so many laughs at work A great time seeing the Broadway play you slept through. Our morning coffee and chats the time we cooked the thanksgiving turkey. You were definitely a character. You are missed by Janet and I.

In this day and age when people are quick to judge. "Lenny" was always steady and calming in how he dealt with things. He was a true gift to those that knew him.It is always the mark of the man on how you deal with the tuff times and needleass to say he did just that.To Rob I am pleased that you are taking the business and keepin it alive. That will be your father's legacy.As for me I have plenty of stories and good times to reflect on but my favorite thought will be that your dad was a very kind person and a true gentleman.

Lenny was definately a character. We worked together for years starting from paper invoices to computers to more office help. He was like a dad to me, we discussed everything, we fought, we laughed. I had just spoke to Lenny the week before to tell him I was off to his favorite "Las Vegas". When I got home I got the awful news. My sympathy goes out to Eric and Lisa, Rob and Cindy and Ronna. I know he is up there with Jackie and his mom. Actually we all know Gertie is up there yelling at him! He had a very kind heart and will never be forgotten. He was a very good friend to me.

We shared grandchildren with Len, and this truly was the tie that bound us together. Some of our best memories of him come from the times we spent together at Danielle's birth, her first Christmas, and the baptisms of Danielle, Matthew. and Lauren. Totally devoted to his wife Jackie and his family, Len was a confident and successful businessman who willingly and unselfishly gave advice to others. He had an outstanding work ethic. We can all take comfort in the fact that he died with his boots on, doing something that he loved dearly. Rob, many specific remembrances of your dad come to mind in the areas listed above. We have compiled these in detail in a separate document appropriate for inclusion in a memory book, if that is your desire. We will convey this communication to you personally.

I've never met anyone who had one unkind word to say about Lenny. We all loved him and admired his vim, vigor and decency. You could hear the smile in his voice when he spoke to you on the phone.
God musta needed help fixin' his furniture so he called on Lenny!
My condolences to Lenny's family for their loss. We'll miss him greatly.

We miss Lenny's warm, caring voice calling our office. He always asked how we were doing. He always checked to make sure we made it home ok from all the conferences. He always called during a storm we were having to make sure everyone was ok. He was a one of a kind person and is greatly missed by all the employees at Office Outlet, in Michigan.

Len was not only an icon in the furniture industry he was one of the nicest guys you'd ever hope to meet. He gave valuable advice, support and information. His death is a shock, but now he is a peace with God.One of the last times I spoke with him he was helping me to avoid a bad situation. Problem Solver was an appropriate name for his company, and good friend was an appropriate term for him.

Lenny introduced me to the the entire used furniture network about 15 years ago. He said that I should attend the BPIA show in San Antonio. At the time I was the youngest person there by 20 years. Lenny has always been selfless and always offered ideas, an innovator, out of the box thinker and was a great sounding board. Lenny was unique, one of a kind! I remember when I met him the first time and he was wearing 2 watches, which I though was odd. I asked him why? He said that when I meet customers and they see that I have 2 watches they will never forget "the guy with 2 watches" Lenny never needed to wear the other watch as his persona alone you could never forget. On behalf of Me and the entire OLS team will greatly miss "The guy with two watches"

I love my Papa Lenny so much. He was such a nice guy. I loved going to his house with my cousins and swimming in his awesome swimmimg pool. It was so hard to hear that he passed away. It was even harder for my dad. I just wish I could spend more time with him. Rest in peace and happiness Papa Lenny.

I have known Lenny as long as I've known my husband Rob, and he was usually a man of few words. However, one thing he said to me at the beginning of our relationship will never be forgotten. I was feeling uncomfortable and worried about Jackie's reaction to me because I was not Jewish. He looked right at me and said, "It doesn't matter. She loves you. We all love you. You make Robby happy and that's all that matters." We may not have understood him or his behavior all the time, but he loved his boys (and me) fiercely and we loved him right back. I hurt for my husband in losing both of his parents so young. But Rob is strong and loves fiercely just like his dad, and I know eventually we will all be OK...but we will never stop missing Lenny and Jackie.

I compare Lenny to my father, Anthony. They knew each other well for 20 years and had the same work ethic. More than 30 years ago, they both made a decision to move to Long Island to make a better life for their young families. Yet they continued to work in the city, waking up at 5am to take an hour-long train ride to their offices. Most days they would return home just in time for dinner. That's something I'll never forget.

Pop - you have no idea how much you will be missed. There is so much of you in me and I'm very proud of that. I know you have found mom again and are looking down with a smile. I hope I develop half the work ethic that you had. Your passion for your selected industry could not be rivaled. The out-pouring of emotion and sentiment from your business peers continues still. The office furniture industry has lost a true icon, I have lost my father and my best friend. Dad, you never quit and you went first class! I stand humbled before you and cherish the title of being the son of Leonard Wiener.
All my love now and forever,
Robert
