I met Lenny over 30 years ago through our mutual friend Edward and would see him on his frequent visits to San Francisco.
He was fun to be with and a quiet comic, too. Adventure and traveling were his great loves: he traveled fearlessly by himself.
Lenny loved his emergency speciality in medicine, theater, good food, travel and art.
He was a font of knowledge in almost every domain. Furthermore he was a sweet, kind and affectionate man. It is a shame he got sick and died so soon. Condolences to his family and friends.
