Dr. Leonard A. Cushner

Dear Tema, Andy & Stuart,
I was so saddened to hear of Dr. Cushner's passing. I have so many fond memories of him, and all of you at the Maine camp. As I had the priviledge of knowing Dr. Cushner some forty years, and working with him for over 11 years as one of his Dental Assistants, I always felt like one of his family. I will never forget the caring, thoughtful and generous way he treated all that came into his world. He was a truly great man, and will be greatly missed by all who...

Dear Mrs. Cushner, Andy and Stuart..

It was with great sadness that I read of the news of Dr. Cushner's passing. My memories of him, and all of you, go back to my days at Devotion School with Andy and the many afternoons and evenings I spent at your home. Dr. Cushner was always warm and kind and generous and I have never forgotten the way in which he always made me feel comfortable and welcome. He always seemed to put up with our shenanigans with a smile, and, given the cast of...

I wanted to pass along my sympathies. Dr. Cushner "straightened me out", and I have known Andy well from Camp Manitou.
Best wishes

Although it has been many years, Dr. Cushner was the greatest to work for. He was kind, great with his patients, funny and as sweet as can be. He will always be remembered fondly. My sympathies and prayers are with you Tema and your family

Andy and Stuart and family,

I have very fond memories of your father beginning from the first time met him, and he magically taught me to stop sucking my thumb! That was about 50 years ago, and through the years since my braces were removed, I have thought of him often while working with Andy, and more recently when I met Stuart at an S.Y.M. meeting. Your dad was a very unique man who touched many lives, and left this world a better place.

We are deeply saddened to hear of Lenny's passing. I worked along side him for many years and he shared so much of his knowledge with me and I could always count on his support during my life as a young adult in the big city. He will be missed so very much since he touched so many peoples hearts. Our love and prayers are sent to all of his family.

As a young girl, my teeth were incredibly crooked and in need of help. Coming from a lower middle class family without dental insurance, the cost of orthodontia was pretty much beyond the financial grasp of my hardworking parents. Dr. Cushner told my mother to pay what should could, when she could, no matter how long it took. She promised she would pay him every cent and, in time, she did. He had said that what was important was that such a pretty girl should have a pretty smile. My course...
