Sometimes life seems so unfair and we wish we could hit a button and have all the answers. Take comfort in knowing that Uncle Lenny was a man with a big heart that touched many lives; for that we will celebrate his life and cherish the memories we've made. He was a kind man and he will surely be missed by all. RIP Uncle Lenny.
