Lenny
Was a special man. I enjoyed his company at VHS football games. I will miss him.
I was so sorry to hear of Lenny’s passing. He was a great guy. We were cousins and brought up in Newark. When my husband passed and I was sitting Shiva, he catered it and told me whatever I wanted, just let him know and I would have it. I will miss our phone calls, since I live in Las Vegas.He was also married to my best friend from high school. May he rest in peace.
My heart is broken. Lenny and I were close friends from a distance.since Grammar School.
He was such a sweet man
Condolences to his Family and Friends. May he Rip..
You will be missed my friend 🙏
