As we read above, the passing of Len Jensky was a major loss for his family and others who knew him. I experienced the sad news with a jolt of distress to the spirit, trying to grapple with the reality that he was the first of the Woodridge neighborhood/West Ridge School friends I grew up with (from Cub Scouts to college) to depart this world. He was a selfless, sincere and good-natured guy (and one who was good with gadgets and gizmos) from a warm and caring family. He will definitely be missed at this 50-year reunion celebration (54 since we ventured forth from Red Oak).

Lenny always put a smile on my face, and was a magnet of friendship. He was easy on the eyes, mind and heart. May he rest in peace.
