I first met Leonard some 30 years ago when he started working at Traffic Court in Chicago. That’s when he became a forever member of the T.V.B. family! Lenny was quiet at first, but he was a great listener. Gradually, as he found out more about his co-workers, we also learned about the things he liked to do and the people close to him. He loved a bargain! Shopping at Walgreens on senior discount days, standing in line -several times- for free samples, and of course the Burlington coat factory. On occasion, his work “watchers” had to convince him that “though the too large socks or too small coat” were a bargain he really should return them! Lenny was always smiling- even more so after his dentist visits. He remembered the names AND VOICES of our family and friends when they called or visited. Some words to describe Lenny- kind, generous, concerned, caring, relentless, dependable, sometimes stubborn, and most importantly LOVED! We will all miss you!

Uncle Lenny & I on one of my weekend Brookdale visits Holly Waxman

Uncle Lenny was the BEST! He was such a sweet, kind, gentle, generous person. He adored my dog Bowie. I have a lifetime of fond memories to reflect on and will miss him more than words can express. XOXO
