Not sure what to say?

I still think often of my friend and colleague. Although he has passed, his legacy continues through his residents and patients. He continues to inspire all who knew him by "paying forward" of their time via continued service to the profession and their communities. Those who are lucky enough to have one of his lovely sculptures, proudly display them. His memory is indeed a blessing.

Leonard was a good man and a good friend. I started my life in business in a small commercial space in Clarkesville Georgia that Leonard trusted enough to rent to me.

Julie, I´m so sorry for your loss. Your dad was a good friend. We met when I did a story about his sculptures for the Skaneateles Press. He was so smart and fun loving and wildly clever. What a life! He spoke of you all the time as well as your brothers - loving you all so much! How blessed that you all had each other

I knew Len for a very long time. I was his hairdresser. He was a very sweet man who told me about his adventures with his sons´ band Phish. It was a privilege to know him. My condolences to the family. He will be missed.

From the very first walk together I knew we would be good friends. You were always ready to listen to the stories of my week. Excited to help me help others or on a crazy adventure to find an amazing cup of coffee. Your smile lit up the room. Every time I left your company..I always felt better about the world. These past few years of helping you have changed my life for the better . I will never forget you, my family will never forget you. The stars will shine a little brighter because you...

Thoughts and prayers Julie

It has taken a long time for me to my thoughts into words. The world is so much less bright without Dr. Fishman's laugh. I will always value the hours I spent sharing our stories and laughter- whether we were on the shores of gorgeous Skaneateles lake, walking the flats of Cape Cod, or even in my plain old backyard while searching for doggy Easter eggs! What a treat it has been to get to know the world, and especially his children through his eyes! I will forever laugh and cry at the same...

The light and love that Dr. Fishman spread will echo through time. I will miss him dearly. The memories built help to cushion the sorrow that weighs heavy on our hearts. May he continue to guide and teach us as we continue on our paths.
