We were so very sorry to learn of Lenny's passing. He had become such a great friend over the years. He always greeted us with such friendliness when we saw him at his store. He was a really giving guy who loved giving back. He will be missed by his family and his many, many friends. RIP, Lenny. You will be missed.

My sympathy to the Shaw family. Lennie was a great friend of mine for 30 years. I will miss him. Kathy Uanker

Lenny touched so many lives, he will always be remembered. Keep him close in your heart because one day you will be with him again. Thinking of all of the family at this time.
