This is very sad news. Our prayers are with the family. When a donation was needed for a fund raiser, we did not have to look far. Len was always there when needed. His love of his wife, children and grandchildren spoke volumes. His caring for the children at risk of Vanderheyden Hall was also an example to all. We are so sorry.

Patti, Jason & Damon
When I think of Lenny I think of playing golf and laughing and that alone makes him a great man. I always admired his great family and success in business but reading his obituary made me realize I only knew half the story, he lead a full life. Hell, if I had walked from Albany to NYC I would have pretty much been done after that:) He meant a great deal to the Petersen/Barry Family and will be missed. Tish, Me and the kids will keep you in our prayers.
Love,
The Petersens
