My husband Nat and I were very fond of Pop. He was kindness itself. For many years he'd drive past into town in the morning and always, always wave. We enjoyed hearing his memories of his younger days with his family in the house where we now live. Pop was not only a friend; he was our connection to the past. We will miss him.

Kurtis has become a close friend over the years while spending time in Panama. We would hear stories of Kurtis spending the summers with his dear Uncle Lenny in Deep River. We would hear of the big garden they would plant and the time relaxing out on the back porch. On visiting the East Coast a few years ago with my young daughter and my mom, we made the journey to Deep River ourselves. Uncle Lenny was kind and genuine. He seemed so filled with joy by our visit and with the presence of our little one in his home. We would sit and play music on the back porch and Uncle Lenny would sit and listen. He was a quiet man that could shine his light through his eyes and his smile. We will miss Uncle Lenny but feel so fortunate that we had the time we did with him. Love to all of his family. Many Blessings, Wiley

I feel so fortunate that Wiley, my daughter, Zeylia, my granddaughter, and I were able to visit Lenny on the 1st and 2nd of September. He was so chipper and alert that it is hard to believe that he is now gone. It feels good to know that he was surrounded by loving family and at home. We were there for his home visit from the nursing home and it was wonderful to see him sitting on the porch in the chair I will always remember him in (we have pictures of Zeylia on his lap in that chair) I am a new friend of Lenny, having visited 3 times in the last few years. What drew me to Deep River was hearing Kurtis talk of Uncle Lenny when I was visiting Panama. He made him sound like such a special person and his words were true, a gentle, kind, endearing soul. I have such fond memories. My love to all the family Marcia

I will love you forever Uncle Lenny, all the kindness and love you brought me. Christmas Eves with the fire burning and the great pinecones that burned in different colors. Putting up with all us kids every year in Cape Cod. I loved your art. Will miss you forever but never forget you.
