This news really hurts. Lenny and I were friends for fifty years. We rode motorcycles together in the 1960s. Our dads were old friends. Lenny grew up in the house his dad built, In later years he moved back in to take care of his mom until she passed away.
Lenny and I had breakfast together during Swedish Days. He was his usual optimistic self, and I will always remember him that way.
