Leonard W. Lenzen, Jr.

I first met Charlotte in high school. We became best friends. When married, we were able to get together and enjoy each other's company. The most memorable visit for me was when Len and Charlotte came over after my first child was born. Len offered to take our son's photograph. Knowing Len to be an excellent photographer, we immediately said yes. Len posed him on a blanket with his little arms crossed over. This position enabled Eddy to hold his head up with happiness in his eyes and smile....

I’ll miss Uncle Len. A man who fiercely loved his country, community and most importantly, his family.

I’ll always remember our time together.
I look forward to seeing him in Heaven.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to you and your family in the loss of your dear husband and father. May God give you comfort and strength in the days ahead.
Keeping you in our prayers.

Love,

I admired and looked to Len to be a voice of logic in Legacy. We worked very well together on the Board. He was a person who looked at things with a similar eye as me.
I will miss him. Marv
Len will be remembered by the legacy community for all he accomplished for us. He was a good friend and neighbor . He always had a positive attitude, warm greeting and lots to talk about. We shared the New Jersey connection.....that says it all!! Rest In Peace Len. You are missed. Pat

I am so happy I had the chance know my great, great, Uncle Len. I am thankful I got to hear some of his great stories. He always had interesting things to show us and tell us about on our visits. The days were never boring with Uncle Len! Some times in the evening we played Rummikub together and we had a lot laughs. Aunt Charlotte and I had fun growing sprouts for him when he was sick. On our last visit he even played frisbee with me. He was always kind. I will miss him very much.

When we moved to Legacy in 2007, Char and Len was the first couple we met. They were so welcoming. Made sure we knew what was happening and invited us to go along to events. Over the years, they became our dear friends. As previous posts indic
ate,a lot of our good times revolved around food. So many evenings enjoying Len's latest creations. Also remember our New Year's celebrations where the ball dropped at 10PM! When Don was diagnosed with PSP in 2013, they were so supportive. ...

Uncle Len was a great man in so many ways. My child hood is full of memories of him, his great sense of humor, his passion for life, story telling, and of course his love of cooking and projects. I always admired and greatly respected his uncompromising character and sense of justice. He was a kind, compassionate, generous, and very hospitable man. He was always interested in our lives and took time to talk to us even when we were just little girls.

I love the story of how he met...

Dear Char

Our fondest memory of Len was the soups he made for Legacy Mug-ins. They were different and delicious.
Praying for healing , comfort and peace for you and your family.

Dad was a gentleman. He used words such as please, thank you, sir, and ma’am. He held the door and pulled the chair out for ladies. He was taught that, if you were not clean-shaven, it was a sign of disrespect.

My Father put the “do” in “do it yourself”. I cannot think of a construction project that he was afraid of tackling. One time, a redesign of the 2nd floor, required that the roof be removed. On another real estate adventure, he gave himself 4 months to rehab an entire...
