Not sure what to say?

One evening in January, Lenny decided it was a good time to install LED strip lighting beneath the lip of each stair leading to the porch. It was a warm night, flowers beginning to bloom, their scent drifting through the air. He put on some jazz, a local group. We finished about 2 am, without his back pleading for relief. I felt close to him, repeating the procedure, stair after stair, not much talking. He felt there was no time to waste, things had to be done right away. Of course the stairs...

When Lenny visited , we had fun. I remember riding on his motorcycle as a kid. This life we have is very short. It seems he lived it to its fullest.

Lenny was one of my best friends. We worked together at Fairchild making semiconductors before he left to make spy electronics. One year in Palo Alto ten of us started a cooperative dinner group. Every two weeks one of the ten would cook. He needed a roommate, so found one who was a chef. Next door was a holy rollers church that he visited once. His property was on a half acre, worth a fortune now. He rode to work on a motorcycle. His sister Karen and brother Tommy were there at the same...

Many entertaining & sweet memories over the years in California, S.C. and his trips to Memphis. His memory will always be a blessing.

It made me so sad to hear about Lenny´s passing. I have known Lenny since I was an exchange student in 1985. I lived with him and his family on Sullivan´s Island for a year. This was a beginning of a lifelong friendship. He came to Sweden several times and visited me and my family and we visited him in the US. I remember in particular one time when Lenny was coming to Sweden for our son´s Bar Mitzvah and we had asked him to read the Torah. Lenny said it would be an honor to read but he...

For the truest of true friendships is above these, and binds eternally. May his memory be a blessing.

In my 35 year career, Lenny was my first professional mentor, and was the best engineering mentor in my memory. Fond memories of work at Oribital, I had a good experience there and he taught me lots. I am sorry he's gone too soon.

I was so saddened to learn of lenny's death. I rode several long distance bike rides with him and other biking friends and laughed at his travelling companion (a toy racoon) as it bounced along over the miles. Lenny will be missed but memories of him remain and will always bring a smile.
