Faye and Family. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Not sure if you remember me. I worked with you and Len at 32nd Air Div in the 60's. Seeing the article about Len brought back a lot of memories of good times with you both. Pray the Lord will give you comfort and peace. Janice Harrison

Faye,Darrell and family

We offer our sincerest and heartfelt condolences to all of you on a sad day. Having had 50 loving and close years together should help brighten the day a bit with so many good memories though.
So many of us will miss Lenny, he was the ultimate gentleman, loyal, faithful guy that endeared him to all those that got to know him. He loved his softball but it was his Faye, Darrell the and grandkids that got him really enthused. They were the ones that could get his heart going.
We spent a lot of weekends together for 9 years playing softball anywhere and everywhere, day and night. Thanks for all the good times over that time. Times like that only happen far and in between.
Nancy, Lisa, Sally, Sandy and I will always have Lenny in our prayers. Our biggest regret is not being able to be with all of you at the service.
