Dear Kathy, Patti and Lenny....I think you already know how lovingly I think of you Dad but of course I think everyone that met him feels that way.He had a big heart and from the first time I met him he let me see that and feel his warmth and kindness. When I went to shake his hand he pulled me in and gave me a big bear hug letting me know with his smile we were friends from now on. I could go on and on but I think you get the idea. Lenny will remain one of the sweetest and best......gentle man! Keeping all of you in my heart and prayers. Much love xo Aunt Marianne

I will teach my girls, all of the great things that you have taught us and show them all of the great things that you have shown us. Most of all, I will give them all of the LOVE that you have had for all of us, which is exploding. XO I LOVE YOU FOREVER, You will always have my heart with you! We beat together! HUGS FOREVER! XO

What a true gentleman. One of the priveleges of being a Mummer was to meet and enjoy the acquaintance and camaraderie of a man the caliber of Lenny. You could always count on a wonderful smile and conversation regardless of how, when or where your paths crossed in life. Your spirit and remembrance will always continue to shine in your beautiful children and grandchildren. God Bless.

When I joined Polish American String Band I met one of the finest men I have ever known, Lenny Bandoch. To know Lenny was to have a friend for life. His love for his family and Polish American String Band were beyond compare. I will never forget him singing "STOLAT" better than anyone. I will also remember how hard he tried to teach me Polish and sending me Polish language Christmas cards. Farewell my dear friend and may God hold you lovingly in His arms.

Your father was a wonderful man, as you know. You've made him happy, loved and most definitely proud. I'm so sorry for your sad, sad loss. I know you'll continue to make him and your mother very proud of all you do and the fantastic job you're doing raising your children now. It certainly is a sentiment to the wonderful parents they were. Love and prayers to you all during this difficult time.

Thank you Dad for all that you taught us, showed us & gave to us. I promise to continue you in anyway possible, because people like you don't die. The word "Proud" is not big enough to describe what I feel to say that I'm your daughter. I can't imagine my days without you but am happy that your days do not include pain anymore. And now you do not ever have to miss another band event, you can be the first one there. I love you dad.
Love,
Patty (birdie)
