Lenny was my boss for 10 years. I was the receptionist, typist for Kostin, Bell, Neistat & Ruffkess. Lenny in his side office was always a work-aholic but always pleasant and appreciative. I remember asking him how he stayed so thin on one of the Saturdays during tax season. He replied "I get tired of chewing". Definitely a man of few words but very well respected.
My sincere sympathy to you Ellie and your family.
