Lenny, you were my quasi son in all aspects of the word son. You are forever loved and will be remembered by your gift to talk about anything with anybody at any level. Your sense of humor and genuine kindness is memorialized in your legacy. You will be sorely missed. Love you.

Prayers for the family. I worked with Lenny when I was an assistant football coach at Capital University. Our paths crossed many time during my OAC coaching career. Lenny always had a smile and was a great friend! RIP Lenny, you will be missed!

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you for the best of everything. God bless. NOTES: I am a retired Sports Desk Assistant for the Elyria Chronicle Telegram and knew Lenny when I would cover Baldwin Wallace athletic events. Also, my son Geoff is a BW graduate and has been the Sports Information Director at Olivet College in Michigan for over 20 years and has known Lenny for many years.
