I first met Lenny at Henniker Hardwood pallet when I was around 20 years old and working stacking lumber on the night shift where Lenny was a Sawyer. As he sat in his booth, ripping through logs, the competition began, and his goal was to saw more lumber faster than we could stack it. Lol my friend and I looked forward to the competition every night we worked there. Later knew him working next to us at Concord farmers market where he sold the Pork next to our infamous BreakWind Farm Beans. Perfect ! Later, I worked with him on his ingenious design for the solar panels he put on his barn . His legend will live on.
RIP Lenny

I had the pleasure of taking care of Lenny at NHOH in Concord. He was one of my favorite patients! He was always so pleasant and although quiet, had an amazingly dry sense of humor! I loved hearing about his pigs and the escapades of his goats! I have thought about him frequently through the years and the thought always made me smile.
My sincere sympathies to Lenny's family and friends. He was a good man and will be fondly remembered.
Sincerely, Jane Skoog
