We were blessed to have had Lenny as a member of our family. He wasn’t just a nice guy, he was a wonderful husband, son, brother, uncle, father and grandfather. To say in-law would be a disservice because he was more than a relative by marriage. He was a Blessing to us all: a kind, and loving man who will live forever in our hearts.
