Lenny was a close friend of the Moro family. When my dad was too old to travel to his beloved Jinx Club to play pitch with his buddies, Lenny would pick him up and take him home. I joined the Hopedale Board of Health because Lenny was the Health Agent. And when I became chairman, I worked closely with him on behalf of the residents.
I loved and deeply respected him. And he always made me laugh. He could find humor in all that life sent his way. My condolences to his family. Cherish the memories.
