I have very warm memories growing with school and Scouting, and some times later as well. Life does take you on different paths, but your heart is there and you never stop being friends.

Lenny, dressed in drag – with lemon end nipples – off to the Union with Veronica – a vision I will never forget, its changed the way I look at lemons, all these years after. Vale Lenny

Rest peacefully Lenny, a very kind, funny and caring man. Sending all of my love and healing to Veronica, Nioka and the rest of your wonderful family. You will live on through memories and be missed greatly xo

Rest In Peace Brother. You’re probably not the best chef of Australia, but you’re the one with the greatest sense of humour. We always had so much fun when you were around. You will be missed dearly.

– For the first time in our life we are lost for words
– Such a beautiful person, loving nature with a fantastic sense of humour
– Your passing has left a big hole in our hearts
– You are now resting with Mum and Dad
– You are now our angel looking down on us
Miss you brother
Rest in peace
Love Debbie and Adrian xxx

Hey Lenny,
Mate alot of great memories of our bike riding days, (you were a gun) and our weekends away to Denny, plenty of laughs, and great times.
RIP mate.
Matt Burke

We love you so so much Uncle Lenny….
I still cannot believe you are no longer with us.
It was just 2 months back that we were sitting around the fire and enjoying some relaxing family time :(
It’s just not fair.
Your energy, laugh, big smile and loving heart will be strongly missed and something we will cherish forever.
I take peace in knowing that you are with Pop and Nanna watching down on all of us. (Hanging shit on all of us I’m sure)
I just want you to know that you are a beautiful soul and we love you so so much.
Love you always,
Loz, Dan and Cal xx

A shock and saddened to hear this news. I fondly remember Lenny from my early primary school days through to our bike racing and training period. Condolences especially to Debbie and Adrian who I recall quite well. Lenny was often in my thoughts all these years. RIP.

Watching you has been such an inspiration to me uncle Lenny on compassion and humility, you never judge and never thought yourself greater than another. I am so proud of your persistence in life and your consistent willingness to overcome the struggles you face. I also hope that my kids may experience the humor you brought into my life, but I know they won’t as you were one of a kind. Love you, uncle Lenny.

Lenny am sure your kicking back by a river rod stuck in sand beers on hand..
I know you will be deeply missed by those who loved you.
Condolences to your family and especially to Veronica.
RIP Lenny

Hey Lenny you are a great guy you were always so full of life and fun to be around.I always enjoyed working with you and wish that I had the opportunity to go fishing with you again. Rest in peace all who know you will miss you. From Dylan Chalmers

Condolences to Veronica and family. Very fond memories of Lenny’s wittiness and cheery personality. A man with a big heart and will be missed by all who knew him.

The Service for Len was beautiful, a tribute to a great person and mate.
With much sadness in our hearts we send our sincere condolences to Lenny’s families, & to Debbie Adrian and their families, beautiful words and memories by you all.
To Tracey, Joel ,Brandon & Jasmine and Blake, take care of each other, you will need each others support.
It was a great honour to be part of your wedding and part of your life, all the great times we had in our younger years and just as many as we aged together.
We will miss your laugh, your humour, your sensitivity and your compassion.
So many fond memories we thank you for, the cake you made for Johnny Mac’s 50th was a classic.
Adrian you’re not alone in bearing Len’s practical jokes. I can remember Len and I getting stranded at the Nullabor roadhouse and spending our first 2 nights sleeping on the restaurant floor, only to wake to people having breakfast around us, we eventually got a room as we just couldn’t get a bus or a lift out of there, so I left Len in the bar that night n went to bed exhausted, Len must’ve made some friends with the locals as he managed to bring at least 8 Aboriginal males back to our room and had them all surround my bed and all lean over me, then he woke me up, bloody hell I jumped that high in fright I hit the roof, and I remember Lenny rolling around in a fit of laughter, such a wonderful memory and one of many we had together. He got me good. LoL.
Special Man we will always remember and hold dear in our hearts.
Keith and Gayle Liddle.
Vale Lenny.

I miss you every day Lenny. I was so lucky to have you as my step dad and to grow up with you. You where so funny and accepting. Wish you were here ❤️
