Lenny,
My family will miss you my friend. Thank you for all the great times and your friendship. We love you. Adam, Stacey, and the entire Falise Family.
Lenny was a friend of my Grandpa’s, and he was very friendly with us for many years. They met working as public adjusters in the late 1970’s, and for the years we knew, he was a very nice and friendly man, who the Lord blessed with a gift of cooking. He treated my brother and I like we were his own kids, and I remember when he came to visit us in Amity Harbor, NY, a few years back. During that time, he made us this delicious pasta with clam sauce. I wish we got to see him more often, and I’m very sad that I won’t get to see him again. Lenny will be missed.
Lenny, work will be forever dull without you. To never hear ” Kimchi” again will break my heart. Your genuine concern for me and my kids, my silly stories and my every day will forever be appreciated. I’m sorry that we couldn’t rock our velour suits, and I’m sorry to never have the entertainment of DJ Lenny again. Everytime Angelina comes on, I’ll think of you. You were so loved, and will be horribly missed. Watch over all of us with that big smile. xoxo
A piece of string walks into the bar..
I will NEVER forget that!
We laughed so hard!
Super Bowl 33 years ago, California at the Rose Bowl. You stayed at my house and we had the best time with my family..
Every year, our friendship got stronger..
You were supposed to be coming to Palm Springs for your birthday in January and a much needed vacation.
I see that God needed you more…
I’ve never cried so much in a few days because I know that I can’t hear your voice telling me it will all be ok with things going on in my life.. I miss you.
May you be an angel, with all the angels..
May you be a SPECIAL angel because you were one on Earth.
RIP Mr. Florio until we meet again.
I love you always,

Lenny was famous in Kentucky and the Kentucky Derby! We all called him Leeeeeeen, 4 syllables…
There are so many memories but one if the best is him picking up all 7 sisters and my mother in New York 1st time for most of us, In a van with no windows. He toured us around NYfor three days and we drove him crazy!
We all will miss you Leeeeeeen❤️
Dearest Lenny,
Thanks for all of your help in Tamarac, for your humor and fun. The world is a smaller place without you. You are unforgettable and I will miss you always and will remember you with love.

I miss you, my friend. Thank you for teaching me about history and architecture and design influences. I’m so grateful that we spent time together. I love and miss you Lenny. You would bug out if you saw how Bruckner has changed.
