I will always remember working with Lenny at City Hall. We were City employees for years together. He always had a smile on his face and loved to talk to people. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Mrs. Spinelli, Lenny & Sharon, and family:

I only met your dad once earlier this year. He was quite a go-getter with lots of energy - and I'm guessing he always loved to be in charge -- the chief, right!?! Of course, I have to mention that he was a wonderful cook, even though he was not feeling 100%! Thank goodness for the good days -- remember them the most! My sincerest condolonces to the entire family.
