Work will never be the same without "pappy" there to take care of and pamper. It was such a blessing to be able to spend those last days with his daughters, wife, and sister in law. This family is truly incredible, much like Lenny, they are very strong and good hearted. I'm glad that Lenny's mind and heart is at rest now, and for that, so are "his girls." God bless and take care, I will never forget you!!
