    My heart is breaking right now because Lenny was more then a friend to me. He was family & like a brother. We went to Cartick High School together & then when Pudge married my sister Pat, we became close family. We had so much fun going to dances & hanging out & everyone who ever knew Lenny loved him. He will be missed by so many people. My heart, thoughts & prayers are with Pat & the rest of the family. RIP my dear friend & brother. Romie

    Pat, Jennifer and Chris, You have my sincere sympathy for the loss of Lenny. It was a shock to hear and if you need anything, just let me know. Lenny had been a great friend from High School to the present and will be extremely missed. I have so many good memories with Lenny as a great teammate with baseball, softball, golf and dancing at Sully's! We had great talks and shared many stories of the past. He was a very kind and caring friend to all, and I too will miss him dearly. He was one of a kind. As mentioned, please call if you need anything. RIP Lenny

    My condolences to Pat, their children and the entire family. I was just in Pittsburgh and had the chance to spend some time with Lenny and Pat. Lenny was one the the best liked friends in school and when we graduated from Carrick High School we met many times for breakfast, played golf together, he always won, he loved sports and he excelled in all. We'll meet again my good friend in Heaven.
