That was a beautiful service for Lenny. It really brought to life who he was and how many he touched. He was one of a kind - there will never be another & this was a worthy goodbye. Rest in peace Lenny we will all miss you

Lenny, 

May you have as much joy and happiness in heaven as you brought to others on earth.  You brought that daily to my work life and I am thankful for it.  Be happy.

Stephanie,
I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of Lenny. Although, I never met him, I can see from the photos and comments what a wonderful man he was.  Just looking at the photos made me smile.

With deepest Sympathy

Lenny was the heart and soul of Secure Horizons (Tufts Health Plan).  Always a smile, kind word and a hearty laugh.  I will always remember how his presence filled the room and made any work meeting or party better.  I hope you and Cathi (Lyon) Corradino are smiling down on us from above in the big Secure Horizon in the sky.  Gone too soon.  My deepest condolences to Stephanie and family.

As a long time colleague of Stephanie’s , I was blessed to meet Lenny a few years back while working in Boston at a company trade show. I met Lenny and Stephanie for Dinner and it was an instant connection with his wonderful warm smile and such an outgoing personality. We instantly connected on our love for Food and Cooking. We spent a good hour sharing stories about cooking and laughing and talking about our dogs :) . It was easy to see how loved he was. Other friends of theirs joined us and to see his face light up with hugs and big smiles made everyone else in the room smile . We ended the evening playing a little pool with everyone , I will always remember his warm smile, his fun personality and his genuine interest in people and it only took one time to learn that.  . Stephanie and Lenny clearly adored and loved  each other. Whenever I would ask Stephanie, how Lenny is doing, she always had a big smile on her face and said my sweet Lenny is doing good ! :) We are not promised any amount of time on this earth, we just have to go through life and live in the moment and leave a wonderful version of us for the world and our loved ones to remember and Lenny did just that.  Lenny will always be close by shining his love and watching over his family & friends . I pray these wonderful memories will help comfort everyone who knew him during these difficult times. RIP sweet Lenny, you will continued to be loved and left a beautiful legacy behind. Sending you lots of hugs Steph, here for you 24/7 xoxo 

Stephanie I was so saddened to learn of Lenny’s passing.  My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.  Sending hugs and love .

Steph and Pogi, I am so saddened to learn of Lenny’s passing. He was such an awesome, fun, and happy guy. He will be missed dearly.  Sending love, hugs, and prayers. May he rest in eternal peace. ❤️🙏🏻

We met Lenny and Stephanie at Amory Park where Pogi and our pup Kaya became good friends. Lenny was the driver and social center of our dog park gatherings, hosting with an abundance of food, laughter and warmth. The world is poorer for his loss and the outpouring here encourages us that Lenny’s love of life and spirit continues on in his friends and family. I can’t find photos of our gatherings so adding one of Amory Park where we will remember him and good times together.  

I am sorry to hear about your loss Stephanie. I worked with Lenny for over a year, he always made going to work a pleasant experience with his joyful sense of humor and contagious smile. Our competitive nature lead to us always striving to outsell each other and our wives knew about it. I am grateful to have had the pleasure to work along side such a joyful powerhouse whom although he was not aware pushed me to become a better person every day of my career. It is saddening to hear he won't be able to light up the world with his personality any more and I will be forever grateful to have been able to work along side him.

Lenny was the true embodiment of joy. You couldnt help feeling happy around him. Thom and I send Stephanie, Pogie and all who loved him our sincerest condolences. His legacy will live on.
We are sorry we will not be able to attend his memorial service as we are out of town for a wedding but we will be thinking of you all.

There is no greater soul then Lenny.  His heart is bigger than Boston, and if you are fortunate enough to be caught in his crosshairs, you'll get more than a meal and a hearty laugh--you'll get his unconditional love.  

If I  boil down his essence into one word, it would be "giver."  His care, concern, and empathy for others is boundless.  His enthusiasm for life lights up the sky at night.  Most people don't know this, but ComEd hooked up to Lenny to power Boston.  Ask Stephanie.  It's true.  He was a furnace at night.  There was untapped potential there.  Lenny should have been charging ComEd for all the energy he produced.  

While my heart aches for our collective loss, more importantly my heart aches for his wife Stephanie and the Crisostomo family.

May we celebrate his life together soon.  May we also carry a bit of Lenny's joie de vivre with us going forward.  Lastly, eat the cake first.  I'm sure Lenny would approve.

Although I only lived in Boston for a short period of time over a decade ago, I have such fond memories of Lenny.  New to the Northeast (and the first time living on my own), Lenny and Steph took me under their wings and treated me like family. Our dogs got along splendidly and I’ll never forget Lenny’s kindness and warmth. He was always smiling and happy to see Quincy and I. You’ll be missed Lenny!

Oh what a guy. I knew Lenny through the dog park, where he was the king of good times. Always laughter, always jokes, always playful, always living in the moment. The dogs gravitated to him, and so did the dog owners. Stephanie, I'm sending you my love and my deepest condolences. 

Uncle Lenny is a person and spirit that you will never forget. I just met him for my Tito Jorge’s 85th Birthday weekend and he mentioned this a few times to those who were at the balcony that night:  “stay true to yourself and just be happy. Forget what others would say just enjoy life.” All he wanted to do rest of the night was dance and have a good time. I said this guy is very cool and all love. All smiles and positive energy. Rest in Heaven Uncle Lenny. You were all open arms… 🙏🏽 ❤️ 

Stephanie , I am so sorry for your loss! Here's a picture of a family dinner in August,2017. Lenny looks like the life of the party, as usual!

Thank you for all the memories and laughs. You were not only a great neighbor, but the best uncle. You taught me how important it is to love myself and stay true to myself. A lesson I am so glad you taught me, I will always remember how you reminded me to “BE YOU.” I am so thankful to have had you in my life, and wishing it had been longer. You were always one of my biggest fans. I am glad you called me something different then everyone else - “Charlie.” 

I will always remember all the laughs and memories we had. You were not only the best neighbor, but the best uncle. Thank you for always reminding me to love and be myself. I will hold that advice close to my heart. I am glad I was always “Charlie” to you. 

Lenny was  a beloved friend. One of three people who made the trek to Portugal be with me on my 50th birthday. We had such a great time then, as we usually did when we were together.

Stephanie I'm so so sorry.  Lenny was such a nice guy. Always happy.  My prayers are with you

Worked with Lenny at eHealth in 2013 & 2014. Very nice person who always had you laughing. You will be missed. Rest easy my brother.

Although I've only known Lenny for 2 short years, I will never forget his smile and how he always seemed to make the day brighter.  Listening to him on the phone at work, hanging out in virtual happy hours with him...always a joy.  He will be missed for sure!

You were such a light. From our first day in Maynard until I left the office in Westford, I could always count on your laughter to put a smile on everyone's face. You made AEP so much more bearable than I ever thought possible. I will forever miss you my friend. You truly were a light in this world.

From driving everyday 100 miles round trip to work for 4 years to the countless 5 Guys & a movie Saturdays we shared you became like family to me. You were my best friend and I will miss you. The tears have not stopped since I got the news especially because you were flying in for a visit on August 5th. We will still see eachother that day but in true Lenny fashion I will be traveling to see you, so we can say goodbye properly. I love you my friend.

So many memories… such a generous and caring man.  Karaoke. Food.  Lots of food.  Would give you the shirt off of his back if you needed it.  That smile lit up the room.  Taken from us too soon…

I have so many wonderful memories of Lenny. A few that come to mind are pushing him around the office in his work chair because he couldn't walk due to his arthritis kicking up (something about barometric pressure). Going out to the Chinese restaurant on my birthday (lunch break) and he bought me a big thing of Saki (I had never had it before, gross, but he made me drink the whole thing) made for an interesting day in the office. Lots of trips to the casino's...what happens in Foxwoods, stays in Foxwoods. Always bringing food into the office, and when Lenny brought food, he really brought food. He was the kindest, happiest, most generous soul I knew, and he will be greatly missed.
