Seems like the ones you love should still be in our midst & should live forever. Lennie was a veritable servant of the Lord and has earned his reward but we have yet to earn our own points here on earth. He has left a great legacy to those who knew him & shall be missed dearly. We send our sincerest condolences to his family and know he will always have a special place in all our hearts.
He was a great conversationalist & had a great sense of humor; it was a privilege to have known him!!
