Dear Nancy and family, 
My condolences to you on the sudden loss of your dear husband and father.  I worked with Lenny at EAL for about 25 years before he retired.  Lenny was one who trained me in my field, but was also a strong mentor.  He was there when I first started dating my husband, always had a ready ear and word of advice, and was there (with you Nancy) when we got married.  Though I moved to Atlanta in 1999, we always stayed in touch and when I would return to South FL for work, he was always ready with a quick hug and a 'ready ear'.  I was there when he was retiring, and it brought tears to my eyes to give him that 'wish you well-not sure when I'll see you again' hug.  All this to say how saddened I was to hear of Lenny's passing.  I pray that God comforts you as only he can, and you delight in knowing how Lenny has touched my life.  He was always so kind, always quick with a laugh, and took so much enjoyment in whatever he was doing.  One of my cherished memories is how we stayed in touch after he retired, and he sent me a photo of his nails painted by his granddaughter.  That touched my heart as that was a true picture of 'Lenny', always kind and doing whatever he could to brighten his granddaughter's day.  I will miss him dearly.  May God Bless you at this difficult time.  Love and hugs to you.  Donna (and Steve) Achin
