To Shelly and family my condolences on your loss Lenny was a good friend and will be missed the many years we worked together at Sinclair are full of great memories too many to put into a small paragraph I know his love of life and crazy way to enjoy it was always entertaining and I remember when he met Shelly and his life was changed forever so much that at his wedding I didn't even recognize him since he shaved his fu man chu beard and looked like a different person. I send you hugs Shelly and I know what a bright light the two of you are and now that bright light lives in you till you meet again. In hawaii aloha is hello and goodbye so aloha Lenny. 

Lenny my heart feels a great loss today as we go back a long time we laughed, and cried together I remember your first NA meeting and when I decided to drive a semi for a living you gave me tons of encouragement as well as support when I was scared you  kept telling me that I could do it, you will always be the brother I never had, you will truly be missed RIP 

Dear Shelly,
I am shocked!  So very sorry for your loss.  
I know he was your strong support and will be missed dearly.
Please feel my huge hugs -- for your family, the dogs and, most of all, for yourself.
Love, from your friend, Sue Day

My Uncle, my councilor, my friend. The man I looked up to most since grandpa passed. No matter what you were always there to talk to, to say that we have suffered a loss will never be enough. I can only hope that when it’s my turn you will be there to guide me like you did in life. I love you Aunt Shelly

When I think of Lenny, the first thing that comes to mind is his laugh and a smile that extended to those wonderful eyes.  My favorite memory is their wedding day.  He had cut his hair and had gone from a wild rebellious look to a GQ model.   I remember how happy he looked and how happy I was for Shelly to be marrying him.   And there is love ❤️ 

I met Lenny back in the '80's when he lived at the end of Waltuma, off Amboy Ave in Edison. I didn't have any tattoos then, and was making payments on my Sportster.  I was happy to reconnect via internet with him decades later, and I saw how things worked out for him. How many things we still had in common. From bikes, our love for Shepherds, and so on. I'll miss Lenny. He was a good, stand-up guy. 

Lenny my brother, I am a better man because of meeting you. You always had a way of putting a smile on my face. Your desire to live and love was seen and felt by many. I am saddened God brought you home and I will no longer see you on this earth. Until we meet again my brother RIP. 

I had the pleasure of knowing Lenny & Shelly through a banking relationship that started over 5 years ago. I always enjoyed visiting with Lenny... don’t tell anyone but 95% of the time we were in my office we talked about everything but business haha! Everything from old jobs, motorcycles, guns, God, you name it! Conversation was always easy with Lenny. If I had to choose a single word that described Lenny from my point of view it would be, genuine. What you see is what you get. I don’t know if I’ve ever met someone so sure of who he or she is! When I heard the news of his unexpected passing my heart broke for Shelly. As a Christian who accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior I know with all certainty where he is and that, that gives me a sense of peace and I pray that in time it does for Shelly as well. Father God please comfort my friend during this extremely difficult time. Lenny, thank you for some great memories... until we meet again sir! My love to Shelly and family!

We grew up in the same neighborhood and he always was smiling. I am so happy we reconnected via Facebook. I will miss his posts. My prayers go to Shelly, Len will always be in your heart.

Lenny worked at Sinclair, I worked at Harpel, we talked often.  Loved his wit and charm...  When I went to Sinclair he made a point to come by and say hi...  many times..  Such an awesome person.

Lenny, you'll be very missed! Im greatful that we crossed paths 20 some years ago! As you know, I always bragged about you and your skills hauling gas. Thanks for perfecting me as a gas hauler! I'll never forget the first time I saw you after you cut your hair! That was a shock! You were a great man, RIP my fellow brother! Until we meet again!

I’m going to miss his smiles and hugs every time I would see him. I used to love to ask him how he was doing because he would tell me EXACTLY how his day was going.  And best of all, I loved how he loved his wife.  It was very clear. I am going to miss him so much.  Lenny was a good man. 

Dear Shelly and Lenny's family,

   I am so sorry for your loss. It was wonderful reconnecting with Lenny at the reunion and he will be greatly missed. Thoughts and prayers go out to all of you at this difficult time.

           With fond memories,
                     Ivy
