For the short time I knew Mr. Lenzner, "Mickey", I came to know a true "Gentleman". My fondest memory is when I went to the airport to pick up Tracy and Cienna. They had been delayed and arrived an hour later than scheduled, and here he was, waiting, waiting. In his hands was a bouquet of flowers for his daughter. It was Tracys's birthday and he wanted to welcome her home on her SPECIAL day. I will never forget the love in his eyes and smile that day when he gave those beautiful flowers to his daughter.

For i am sad today,

I lost my Papa,

And he's gone to Heaven,

PaPa if your listening,

I will always be thinking of you,

I love you very much.

Mr Lenzner was one of my most memorable people of all time...I loved him so very, very, very much! I will miss him dearly. I have so many fond memories...all too many to even begin to mention here. I must say that when Mr. Lenzner spoke (he always told me to call him Mickey...but I just couldn't) he would absolutely captivate the attention of anyone lucky enough to be within earshot. He spoke with such great intelligence...and insight on so many topics. For fun, Mr. Lenzner could replay chess hands played weeks previous... (I found this to be quite entertaining...I could never figure out how he could remember it all) and he made a mean caesar salad. Just today, before I read about his passing, I thought I saw him in a car that was passing by on the thruway....I used to see him randomly from time to time...just like this. Today, I needed to take a double take....it wasn't him obviously...and I will miss him greatly! Mr. Lenzner has a permanent place in my heart...a very special permanent place. God bless you Mr. Lenzner "Mickey"... You will be sadly missed....but very happily remembered. I feel blessed to have had you in my life. ~ D
