Not sure what to say?

So Sorry for your loss, what a beautiful life. My deepest sympathies to all, from Marian Smith, James Haffey's mother.

Antoinette: Sorry for your loss. Lenny, his Father and Mother were very much loved by my brother steve and Maryann and Joanne and I. Frank Geraci

To Annette, Tim, Tom and Terry and grandchildren, et.al.

It saddened me greatly to hear of the sad news that Lenny had passed. He was a very fine gentleman his entire life.
I always wanted to take a flight with him, but I was anxious to do so. He would say,
"Nothing to worry about."

He was a model husband, father, grandfather, and most importantly, a wonderful human being to make his life and family the best they could be.

If there is one special memory I have...

Our deepest sympathy ....such a kind and wonderful man.....May your memories bring you comfort during this very sad time.

May the God of all comfort and a promise hope, be with the family and friends at this very difficult and sad time.
