Top 10 reasons I loved Lenny 
Ames:

#10 - He drove me to school everyday of oursenior year in high school.
#9 - He made me laugh. A lot.
#8 - Despite his close-to-the-chest nature, he shared real stuff with me ... and this was 40 years ago.
#7 And on that note, he confessed to - well never mind. That's still for Len and me.
#6 - He indulged my female teenage angst by listening. Which is huge. For anyone. But for Len? Priceless.
#5 - I'm pretty sure his marriage to one of my dearest friends brought her (them) great happiness.
#4 - In senior year,I made him laugh so hard he fell out of his desk. And to make someone as funny as Lenny laugh like that is golden.
#3 - He told me at his 25th wedding anniversary party that I helped him reach that momentous event. To this day that acknowledgement is - by far and away - one of the things in my life I'm most proud of.
#2 - He had three children that were indescribable blessings in my life.
And #1 - He was my friend. And I adored him and miss him ... and hadn't seen him for awhile. I guess I'll have to wait a bit longer to do so.

Laine and family,    We got to enjoy knowing Lenny when he did some work in our Toms River house many years ago, he was a wonderful craftsman.  We are so sorry for you have lost him too soon and we pray that God will comfort you with His peace and strength. 
In His Love, Ted & Marianne Gajewski

I am so sorry. I was fortunate enough to meet Lenny once when he was visiting Christine in Huntsville.  He was such a good man. May God comfort all of his family during this time of grief.

Christie,
So sorry about your dad. Our prayers & love are with you & your family.

While I cannot even imagine how much all in his family will miss him, a person of faith, one who enjoyed providing for those he loved, may knowing that he holds a place of high regard in the memories of many others be of comfort.  He was certainly a "good guy" to his core.
May you each feel his hand on your shoulder whenever you need edification.

Lenny was a good man who gave his life to helping his union 
Brothers and sisters.He will be greatly missed.

God grant that I may live to fish for another shining day,
But when my final cast is made I then most humbly pray,
When nestled in your landing net as I lay peacefully asleep,
You'll smile at me and judge that I'm "good enough to keep."
All knowing brother Lenny is certainly a keeper, however, the lord needed him by his side. If sending building materials to heaven in advance of his earthly departure by deed, his heavenly dwelling is a castle.
Rest in Peace my brother.

Laine and family, Lenny worked tirelessly for all Union Brothers through the years.  He always made time in his busy day to return a phone call,  or answer an important question.  He was truly a good man and will be deeply missed.
