We’ve been friends since 1959. We were young married couples, just kids really, just starting out. We were junior Airmen at Davis-Monthan AFB in Tucson, together again at Offutt AFB in Omaha and then our paths diverged. I have very fond memories of Lenny & Judy and I’m saddened with his passing!
He will be greatly missed. My uncle was a Hero among men.
He was the best Uncle that ever was. Sorry we couldn’t be there in person , but you’ve been on my heart all week and the service was great to hear all the stories . Well no more pain and suffering and you fought for along time and Go Rest High On The Mountain. We will miss you dearly and say hi to Grandma , Mom , Aunt Em . Keep looking down on all us .
Dear Judy and family I’m so sorry to hear this. We also thank you for his service of many years and he sounds like he had a wonderful life there in Nebraska. He was always such a great kid as we called them then that’s what we called each other. I am sure you will miss him, and it will be great to see him again when we all get to heaven those of us who have accepted Jesus, I’ll be praying for you and your family as you adjust to a life without Lenny there but know that he did love you and he loved his God apparently that’s great to know my deepest sympathies and condolences
