Lenard was one of my best customers when I worked for K&M Tools! He was always very professional with a smile when I visited his office. I often go by that building that used to belong to ADA Maintenance and wonder how he was doing when it changed companies. Rest in peace Lenard, you surely have a special place in Heaven!

I worked in ADA Maintenance in 1982-1984 as a young accountant for GE. Lenard was a great man and one of the best natured people I had ever met - and funny, oh man what laughs he could get with his humorous stories, jokes and quips. Several years after I had left, I went back to Pasedena for an interview in another part of GE, and he gave me a tour of ADA and its much upgraded facility. He was so kind. I remember him fondly, long after my time there and to this very day. And my feeling is same about those wonderful people I was fortunate to work with on Pasadena Blvd.

Just heard today. Missed the funeral and a chance to see everyone. My 1st "boss" You were my mentor Lenard and showed me the meaning of true work ethic. You showed so much trust in me and gave me so many chances when I was young (and dumb). Will never forget you asking me to go to the Astros playoff game 6 against the Mets in 86. I do not think I have ever hugged another boss (lol) but that game was so exciting and so emotional. Glad I ran into you last year. Thank you Lenard. I will miss you as you were like a Father to me. My sympathy to Kathryn, his family and my old work family. Love you all.
