To all of the Lenehans, sorry for the loss of your dad. ... I have many fun memories of hanging out at the Lenehans. I remember your dad said what was on his mind. A funny one was when Pat was helping your dad fix something in the garage. Your dad was a little frustrated at Pat not doing a great job with some tools. Your dad said, "I hope you are getting a good education, because you are not a working man". :) Ace and I repeated that line to Pat for a few days. :)

We worked together in the 70s at UHPD. John was a good guy and a great cop. Of course I lost contact with him when I quit in 1978
