Dear Phyllis and family,
We want to extend our most sincere condolences for the loss of your dear father. Be strong and remember all the good times you had with him. May he rest in peace.

Lenny is my uncle and my godfather. I’ve lived across the street from him and my aunt my entire life. For 31 years, I saw them both almost every day. When I was a kid, Lenny would take me to Baskin Robbins for ice cream. As an adult, he taught me how to cook after my mom died, and he helped me with my vegetable garden in the summer. I like to think that there is a part of him left behind in my garden, and when I go outside, I’ll feel his presence. Life is not easy. As human beings, we experience great loss. But pain is the cost of living, and grief is the price we pay for love.
My mom loved Lenny too. They used to go for walks together every day. I’m sure she is so happy to see her friend again.
To all those mourning Lenny, hold on to your memories and let them fill you up inside and carry you through the tough days.
RIP Uncle Lenny. Say hi to mom for me.
“How strong the human heart that it shatters over and over again and yet still beats.”
Dear Phyllis and Family,
May our Lord bless and comfort you and your family during this time of grief. Please accept our sincere condolences.
Our deep condolences on the passing of Leonard Furiato who demonstrated the meaning of true sanctity as a human being because he was a very hardworking, loving and very kind to all. He truly loved his family and never refused a request to help anyone. A man who was very content and who appreciated all the blessings bestowed on him by God. His death is clearly a great loss for the family. RIP Lenny
Our deepest condolences to the family.
To my cousin Mary, my “Cugi” Phyllis, and Deanne,
May the memories you created with your husband/father be forever etched into your minds and souls as those will always be yours to cherish. I take great comfort in believing that Lenny has been reunited with my father, and they both are comforting each other just like they did at Sunnybrook Hospital in the month of August when coincidentally enough were in hospital at the same time for the same reason. May they both RIP side by side with a beer in hand. Amen.
Dear Mary and family, so sorry for your loss. Our deepest and sincere condolences to you and your family. Our thoughts and prayers are with. May he Rest In Peace.

Lenny, our neighbour was the first one on the street to be friendly and helpful. An excellent handyman, he helped with some jobs that needed to be done. I will always remember him as easy going and friendly. Will miss you Lenny, especially our joking about Florida and the crazy things that happen in our lives.
RIP, Lenny! You will be missed on Katie Court!
You were always ready to share your knowledge and your time.
It was a blessing to have you as a brother-in-law. Lenny we will miss you.
You will always be in our memories.
Rest in Peace.
