Not sure what to say?

We were saddened to hear of Lenny's passing. He was a neighbor to us on Emerson Avenue many years ago. The Petterson family

To the Clarkson family,
Len and I came from the same neck of the woods in Massachusetts, same era, too. We shared many stories about our growing up days in MA, although, I met Len in MN about 15 years ago. He would make some stuffies (New England quahogs)for me. The last time he made it, he forgot to put in the chourizo...we laughed, as I told him it tasted different. He had such a laugh, that you couldn't help but laugh. Although I moved to Sarasota, FL 18 mos. ago, we still kept in...

To the family,
I enjoyed singing with you father on Kareoke nights at Monie's. His voice was rich indeed. His laughter was something I will never forget. Thanks Lenny for being a great friend. I am sure you are dancing to the 50's up there.

Len was a key member of the Royal and Ancient Loon Golf Association.He always had a sincere interest in his fellow members and a style that was from a different and better generation I think.
An accomplished golfer who always contended for the Championship, he was also a stickler for the rules and I saw him call himself for a penalty when his ball moved after he addressed it even though no one else saw it and it cost him the hole.

One can't forget his laugh. Just hearing him laugh...

Len was a great storyteller, and always energized the company he kept. Even here where we are neighbors, I don't think most of us could keep up with his energy and zeal. Always a smile, a kind word, a laugh. He is missed already. Thanks for sharing your Dad with us. Peace and Love and Comfort to you and your family.

Through all the roads my dad has taken he ended up exactly where he was supposed to, a place promised to him on the day of his birth. As many did, I love you dad R.I.P.
