We are very sorry for your loss. Leonard was a good friend and great coworker. He made work fun and taught me (Jeremy) a lot. He will truly be missed! Our thoughts are with you and your family at this time.
Ester and Kara I’m thinking of you praying for you and feeling your loss. It was a privilege to know Leonard. His smile his laugh and ability to make everyone else smile and laugh with him was a gift: Grief has so many twists and turns but I like to think heaven is the way we’re remembered. And Leonard is very well remembered.
Lenny worked with us for 27 years. He was such a good and smart person. There was only one Lenny in the world. Glad we had him in our life.
