I have know Lenny for 20 years or so. He was a kind and gentle man, but he could get wound up. We worked in Venice and Covington together. We did lunch many times together, usually Thai. Thank you Lenny for the memories. Miss You!

Cousin Lenny to me is quintessential New Orleans, and the kind of guy anyone would be lucky and privileged enough to have as part of your family. He was full of charm and always gracious to me, kind and likable in every way. He loved the same things I loved, music, food, cooking, people. He knew what life was about and lived it to the fullest, not everyone does that and that's what makes him special and why I'll carry his spirit with me as a part of myself. Love, Little Albit
Me and John were blessed to meet Lenny on Christmas 2011. He left a lasting positive impression on us we will never forget. He had a great album collection and stereo system and the cutest model train that ran around his Christmas tree. He also was a great cook. He will always be in our thoughts. Our condolences to Cathy and the Larre family. God Bless.

We were blessed to haveLenny and Cathy as our neighbors on Guardian Avenue for nine years. Two of the sweetest people you could meet. We both moved from Terrytown 17 years ago and now here in Austin, when it is crawfish season, I think about those delicious boils that Lenny always had in his backyard. Rest in Peace kind soul. Our sincere condolences to you dear Cathy.
I was the luckiest person in the world to have Lenny as a friend. We could go months without talking or seeing each other then pickup just like we saw each other yesterday. My wife was amazed that we were so different and were such friends. I said you don't pick your friends they pick you.
I loved Lenny for his passion to Cathy, family, friends, good food, new restaurants, music, jazz, Dr. John, Jazzfest and New Orleans and especially the West Bank. To me, he was the renaissance man of his day. I learned so much from Lenny.
Ellen and I are grateful to have had Lenny as a friend and he will be missed so much.
Love always, Lenny. Ellen and John Riedie
Lenny and Cathy were part of my adopted family. They took me in ane shared their open love and hospitality. I will always remember Lenny's love of good food , music and art. He will be greatly missed by many including myself . One day we will look back on the happy memories and smile and laugh as he would want us to do. For now there is deep sadness over the loss of a wonderful man. Love you Lenny
He wasn't my friend. He was my Brother from another Mother. I would never have believed that longhaired boy that had the nerve to cut through my yard when I was 12 would become my friend of 50 years!
Growing up, my own Mother, of blessed memory, would only let me go places after asking, "Is Lenny going to be there?". That's all she ever needed to know.
Lenny was happiest in his kitchen with Cathy, stirring a pot of gumbo, or on the porch grilling oysters. He loved cooking for family and friends, listening to music, sharing stories of our youth, and of course, laughter.
So many memories. I miss him so much already. - "Dotty Ann"
Lenny was an awesome man with many passions that he crafted like a master. He was an awesome Cajun cook, lover of music and art. He loved life and his family. I can hear his laugh as clear as day. I miss him already but know he is in a better place. Love you cous!
