LEO was a friend at Cathedral Latin School ... a good guy and someone you could depend on. May his family celebrate his life and rejoyce in all the great things he did for all those he touched. God be with the Dobucki Family.

Lenny,
"Hey Son!" We're going to miss the times we laughed, the beers we drank and the fun trouble we got into because of the beers we drank. And of course, all of those losing football games we watched.

If it wasn't for you, Lenny, I would still think that PI is only for dessert. Thanks for all the math help! Michael

Thanks for the help all through the years as I was growing up. Thanks for all the laughs.
Edward

Love you and we will never forget you,
Tom , Michael and Edward

P.S. We will take care of Donna and the girls for you.

Donna, girls and the Dobucki family,
I am so very sorry for your loss of Lenny/Dad/Brother. My most deepest sympathies.

To: Donna, LeAnn, Dana, Katie and Kenney
I think you all know that Lenny was more like a close friend and a brother than just a cousin to me, and that says a lot coming from a family where cousins have always been very close.
But with Lenny he was more than once a guardian angel to me. He saved me more than once on trips to the hospital when no one else was there.
He was always there when I needed someone to talk to and always had the right advice.
There is no doubt in my mind that he was taken away from us on Easter Sunday to remind us of the Resurrection and the Life. He lived by what Jesus taught us and that is to love one another.
Even though I am going to miss him I know in my heart that one day we will be reunited in the afterlife.
There is one more reason today to sing what they were singing on yesterday's Dyngus day, and that is “In Heaven there is no beer”. No one there is going to call him up to have their beer lines cleaned and he can now rest.
His work is completed here in more ways than one way and I can only think of Donny smiling while I am left here crying.
May Eternal Rest grant onto him.

Dad, it seems like just yesterday that we were seeing your smiling face and sharing laughs. Even through your illness you still managed to find a way to make jokes. I miss you so much already and I always will. You were the greatest man that I ever met and the best dad that any of us could have asked for. Mom was so lucky to find you. Our hearts are aching terribly without you, but I'm happy that your suffering is over. I know you are up in Heaven with Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Donny and Aunt Lottie watching over us. God must have really needed a special man quickly, so he chose you. I love you so so much!

Dana Dobucki

Katie, God bless you and your family at this difficult time. Your Dad was such a sweet man and always had a smile and something nice to say when ever I saw him. Heaven has another angel. Love to you and your family.
