Linus's family,
Even though I've been retired from the P.O. for over 19 years I remember working with Lenny. He was a real nice guy who will be sorely missed. Lenny may you rest in peace.

I often think of Lenny. We worked together at P O for many years I enjoyed his stories of his service time. I had known other family members in my youth and we would talk about them also. I'll miss you Len, though will be out of town for your services.
