One memory that really stands out is how Dave quickly stepped up and became a leader of our pitching 'staff' as a proud Bartonville Bison. We would have really been in trouble without his talent and confidence!

Mrs.Lenart, Judy and all of David's family,
I am so sorry for your loss.
I'll always remember David as the tag a long little brother who was so funny and always made Judy and me laugh - from 8th grade through high school. "What a hoot!"
I hope your wonderful memories of David help to comfort and sustain you through the weeks and months ahead.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Much love

I am grateful to my "little" brother David for demonstrating such courage during his latest health trials. His acceptance inspired us. I will miss the way he made us laugh
and calling to wish me happy birthday in his "Goober" voice. David videotaped my wedding and 40th birthday party...no one had a steadier hand or an eye for detail. Missing you. Love you forever Davie Boy!!

Keeping the entire Lenart family in my thoughts and prayers. What a beautiful family! I didn't know there was another barber in the family. I'm sure he was the best...just like his dad. So sorry for your loss.

Ruth and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I sure remember the fun times with David and Judy growing up as neighbors. I'll never forget his awesome Mach I Mustang either. He was always a great guy. You are all on my prayers,

Dear Lenart Family,
My husband and I did not know James well, but we were classmates of Judy, and we remembered his smile in the halls of Limestone. We are sorry you have lost him. Judy,
I wanted to let you know that to me, you always brighten every room you walk into. I truly appreciate what your upbeat presence added to my high school experience, and I am sorry you are hurting now.
