He was employed as the scheduling clerk at Westover Job Corps in Chicopee and had a superior understanding and ability when it came to computers. He was later employed as a chef in various restaurants and long term care facilities and always took great pride in preparing meals that were not only great tasting but also had great visual appeal. Lenny achieved a black belt in Shaolin Karate and enjoyed studying the martial arts disciplines. Over the years he accumulated an impressive amount of medical knowledge. Lenny had many interests and activities including camping, fishing and boating at Quabbin Reservoir, going to the beach, deep sea fishing, enjoying local attractions, going out for breakfasts and dinners, and spending time with good friends.
