To Mrs Albarelli,Gloria and Bridget,
and family,
Please know that your family is in our prayers.
My memories of your father were much like my dad....always willing(and wanting) to help out anyone that needed help. I always wanted my dad to get a snowblower (' like his ').
As I was growing up, he was a
friendly face in a great neighborhood.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
I had the great pleasure of knowing Lenny while he was employed by Eaton. I envied the passion he had for both his customers and his job in sales. He was always fair and fought for what he thought was right for both the customer and Eaton. He was not afraid to speak up and fight when he felt he was right. He was a great roll model and people could learn a lot from him.

Mrs. Albarelli, Gloria, Bridget and Families:
I am so very sorry for your loss. Leonard was a fine neighbor. I remember that he would take his snowblower in the winter and go up and down the block clearing the sidewalk for all the neighbors. (I think he might have been the first on the block to own a snowblower!) Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time of sorrow and loss.
