Our family will miss Lenny. Having moved here in 1955 we watched him fish in front of our house, aways amazed that he almost always went home with a fish. He later showed our son, Mark, some of his special secrets about how to bait his hook and where the good spots were. Later in life I worked with him at Calf Pen Meadow school.

We enjoyed his friendly conversation when he was out walking his dogs, and talking of his recent trips to the Casino.

A neighbor and friend not to be forgotten. Hope to meet him again in Heaven.

The Allspaugh Family,
Phil, Mary Ellen and son, Mark

Saints of God, come to my grandfathers aid!
Come to meet him, angels of the Lord!
Receive his soul and present him to God the Most High.

May Christ, Who called you, take you to Himself;
may angels lead you to Abraham's side.
Receive his soul and present him to God the Most High.

Give him eternal rest, O Lord,
and may Your light shine upon him forever.
Receive his soul and present him to God the Most High.
