My deepest sympathy to the family, I remember growing up on Cherry St. where Uncle Lenny and Aunt Lorretta were our nieghbors. Later on after my father passes away, he was like a father to me I could come to him with my problems and he would help me solve them. He was a good man and will be missed by us all that were blessed to know him.

My deepest sympathy to the family of Lenny he was a very kind person, like a second father to me. I knew him from the VFW in Erie, Pa. He was loved by all who knew him. I will miss him dearly.

I'm so sorry to read this ... I was hoping to see or talk to him this summer in Erie. He was a great guy and I truly enjoyed working with him. I'll let my dad know (Dick Zimmerman) they knew each other from the VFW.
