My Sincere condolences to all the family. I just learned about Lenny's passing . We had great time with him at Anna Maria's especially when we worked till 3:00 a.m. We shared Big macs and laughs on Sundays. People just loved him for everything he said or did. My name is Sam and worked at Anna Maria's from 1992 to 1998. I moved to Australia for the last 10 years.

To Jack, Angelo, and all the Pace and Sileo family .. Lenny didn't know me from the man in the moon when I first went into the restaurant many years ago. Mentioned I was from Dunmore and I was surrounded in seconds by back slapping and hugging and kissing like I was a family member. Didn't know him well, but accept my condolences please. Lenny lived life .. he will be remembered well.

To the Pace family: I am so sorry to hear of Lenny's passing. Fond memories and fun times will be with me remembering the group of us who worked together at the NEIU in Scranton. We were all 20-somethings with a zest for life and boundless energy. I can still picture his long shaggy hair! ... I hope your memories will comfort you in this time of sadness. My sincere condolences to your family.
