    Kathy and I are so sorry to hear of Lenny’s passing. Lenny has been a wonderful friend to me for so many years. We all have had such great memories that will last us forever. Such special memories that there are too many to mention. Our great Trips fishing on the Blues Brothers boat where we laughed our morning fishing trips away and kept track of our fish caught in cost per fish. Rest in Peace Lenny.
