I send my sincere heartfelt sympathy to the Gause Family. I have known Lenny my entire life. He always had a smile for everyone he met. My cutest memory of Lenny is when I would go in Mt. Vernon store, Lenny would hand me a few cents and say, Let me buy your lunch today. Then we would laugh about it. He will be missed.
