Jen,
Words can not express how sorry I am for the loss of your father. I never met him, though thru your laughter and love of life, I feel as if I have.

From the first time we met Lenny he made us feel very comfortable with his warm and laughing eyes. We feel very fortunate to have know him, even for the short time that we did. Our Teri gave us the opportunity to know him and love him and he will always be remembered in a special way. We love you Lenny and may you always rest in peace. Your memory is a blessing.
Love

Lenny was like a second dad to me and I loved him very much. He was the best husband and father and a kind and wonderful friend. He loved nothing more than spending time with his wonderful wife and was alway ready with a joke, a story or a kind word. He dedicated his whole life to making others happy and because of this he brought joy to everyone who knew him. I will miss him every day, for the rest of my life and I feel blessed to have been his friend for almost thirteen years. Lenny, hold a place at the table for me and I will see you again dear friend when I get there.
Your Loving friend.

I knew Lenny for a year and a half and no matter how bad he felt he always had something funny to say to brighten up the day. He always had so many stories to tell and good resteraunts to share with me!!! He always spoke of his kids and his wife and how much he loved them all. I will truly miss his smile and his presence. I know he is up in heaven eating a lot of good food and telling a lot of funny jokes!!! He will be missed by us all!!

Lenny was the best father-in-law anybody could ask for. He was so strong and courageous through all of his sickness, and always found the time to laugh and smile. I know for a fact that he loved his family more than anything in the world. Elyse, you were a saint to him, you were his rock. He will be deeply missed by all he knew him. I am so proud to be apart of the Brown family.

Lenny has been our good friend for many years. He was a true loving husband and father to Elyse , Todd and Jennifer. No matter how bad things were Lenny always had a smile, a brave man to the very end. He will be missed by everyone he has touched and by the people who had the pleasure to meeting him. The world will be a bit more lonely without him. Rest in Peace Lenny our Friend

I could go on and on about what a great guy my father was, but chances are if you are reading this, you already know. He was the best father/uncle/friend anybody could ever ask for. He was always there for me, my sister, and my mother. He lived for us. He loved us and he loved life. I hope you can finally rest in piece. I love you Dad. I love you alot.
