Lenny was an amazing guy , very funny and threw no punches. He drove the BMHS color guard through out the winter and when our bus broke down and we were in the Wawa parking lot the girls entertained him with their singing. I loved seeing Lenny at our Union meeting. He was a happy go lucky guy , and was amazing with all the kids he drove in the district. He will be missed deeply. Sending condolences to his family and friends .

Lenny loved his Friday night dinner and drinks out. The many hours I spent speaking with him and Janet. He have up his Christmas Eve to give our family the larger than life Santa. But that is the type of man he was. When anyone needed anything he dropped what he was doing and raced to be there to help. I never knew him as a grandfather but his 2 girls were his world. And I can honestly say if his granddaughters wanted something Lenny ran and got it for them
Janet, D, Alison. This one hurt. But so much worse for you. I want to hug you all. Please reach out if you need anything. You are now in his hands. He will always be leading you and watching you and the granddaughters. Lenny, raising a glass for you!

Mr. Lenny was my children’s bus driver for almost 8 years. He was the best bus driver any child could want or any parent could ask for.
My kids will miss candy on Fridays and Santa Claus during the holidays but I will miss Mr. Lenny’s signature wave and smile as he drove away from the bus stop and I knew my children would get to school safely.
Rest easy Mr. Lenny. Heaven has definitely gained a true Angel.

Lenny was our daughters bus driver for camp. She said the best part of camp was riding the bus. He was so sweet to the kids and gave them lollipops every Friday as they got off the bus. Little gestures mean so much! We are so thankful to him for keeping her safe and he will be missed by his pine grove family

I am so sorry to hear about this. At our age, we wonder how long we have and hope that we pass on doing something we love and with our loved ones near us. Lenny, as I understand it, loved riding his motorcycle, so he's way ahead. Nevertheless these days, 75 is young and he had many years left to enjoy riding, his family, and seeing his friends. I always remember him as kind and that is the most important attribute in my book. Gee, Lenny, I hope you've graduated to a heavenly motorcycle and you can ride on the breeze of God's Love forever!

As our children were growing up Lenny was always there for our family and for us. He would still call to ask if we had time for a cup of coffee. We loved him and he will surely be missed.
