Our deepest sympathy for your loss. Lennie sure was a good neighbor. He was always ready to share his garden produce (especially the blueberries) or lend a helping hand. May you find comfort in the memories you have during this difficult time.

Sending many prayers and sympathy. No truer words can be said about Lenny having a heart of gold and his willingness to help anyone, anytime, with anything. I truly cherished meeting Lenny and being his neighbor, even for a short time. I appreciated his wisdom, anytime I would call with a question. Rest easy Lenny, the kids and I have the KOI taken care of and your pond will flourish in your memory.
