Not sure what to say?

I was so saddened to hear of Len's passing. I worked for Len in the International Division at Philadelphia National Bank. In fact, Len gave me my start and had it not been for him, I wouldn't be where I am today. Len was one of the nicest men I had ever met. He would go well out of his way to help you and believe me at times I was a real pain to him at times. I will never forget what he taught me and as I said he was one of the best. May God care for him and keep him.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I am so saddened by Len's passing. He was a gentle, sweet man with a warm, smiling countenance that always made you feel like he was just happy to be in your presence. Tom - my heart goes out to you. This is all so sudden and shocking. I hope that as you go forward from here, you are able to embrace and find peace in your memories of those 39 wonderful years of the life and love you shared with Len. My sincere condolences to you and all of his family.

It is difficult to believe that this man who had such a zest for life will no longer grace this world. He was a wonderful neighbor who became a dear friend. Rest in peace dear Len.

Lenny was one of a kind. My memory of him from the early days "down the shore" is someone who always seemed at peace. His demeanor was a quiet one, but there were many times when his sense of humor would shine through. He was the "golden boy" with blonde curly locks, handsome with a charming smile, and as we all know quite intelligent. For all of you who loved him, I am sorry for your loss. He was a good man.

Lenny was best friends with a long time friend of mine and I've known Lenny since post Bonner and during his days at Villanova. Great guy, extremely generous and loving with his friends, and a very funny and gregarious personality. As many have said, he was a great guy and a wonderful person to everyone that he encountered in this life. RIP Lenny

Remembering many Turkey bowl games "old guys vs young guys". We are so sorry for your loss. Lenny was a good friend. RIP Lenny!

So many happy memories and fun times with our dear friend Lenny "back in the day". Wish we had kept in touch more. Will always remember with fondness and love.
