Not sure what to say?

My deepest condolences to Leonard's family and friends. I lived in Quantico in the late 1970's and Leonard and I were friends for several years until we moved. I'm not sure what caused me to suddenly start searching about old friends from Quantico nearly 50 years later but this is how I found out about his passing.

Lennie and I worked together at MCAS El Toro. He was the funniest guy, with an incredible work ethic, who made everyday better. He was adored by everyone, and here 25 years 30 years later I still think of him and the fun we had working at the base. Rest in peace my friend, and prayers for his beautiful family.

Lennie made the world a better place and we lost a bit of our sparkle in losing him. He made everyone feel important with his kind words, ridiculous memory, and constant encouragement to others. I will never forget his wit, his style and his love for his family. When he spoke of his family he would get a twinkle in his eye and a smile that went on for days. Please know that he was loved by many and will never be forgotten. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time and as...

My deepest condolences go out to the Fuchs family. I did not know Lennie well or for very long. Our boys were in Cub Scouts together prior to covid. I just wanted to say that Lennie was a very nice person and that the boys (and adults) in the Cub Scout pack were very lucky to have him around being a part of our lives at the pack meetings.

Oh man, this one hits hard. I worked with Lennie for a few years at Meijer, but I would have the great privilege of running into him a few times a year while out and about. Lennie would always have a smile for me along with inquiries on how my kids were doing and what they were up to. Just a genuine and down-to-earth person. The world has lost great human being, but I'm comforted knowing the Lord has accepted him.

What a wonderful human and genuinely funny person. He was a criminal, as was I and although our lives went in different directions and states, we connected over the years, reminiscing about our high school memories and friends. He was a genuine friend. Rest in peace and prayers to his family

1985 Yuma High classmate. We are all deeply sad in Yuma AZ. We all loved him and condolences to his family. The news of his passinng spread very fast here in Yuma.

Suzanne, Parker and Maddie..Love you a bunch.

I loved my conversations with Lennie. He was one of the first ones to contact me when I was diagnosed in 2018 & then again when my father died in 2020. He was a very caring man with a big heart. I will miss him teasing me that Meijer had record sales in the baby department because I shopped for my grandbabies. He stayed in touch as he rose through the ranks always checking in for an update & pictures of my grandchildren. I will miss him. My deepest condolences to the family.
