I'll never forget HPHS and the fun I had with Bunny & Lenny. The double dates to Sr. Prom and our graduation party. All the rides Lenny willingly gave me from school to the Bakery where Bunny & I worked and then taking me home after work. They were good times back then and I will always cherish our friendship. I'm sure God has a special place for Lenny to fill now. Lenny will always have a special place in my memories.
My respects to Bunny and the rest of Lennys family especially his beautiful mother. God be with you all.
