Lenny served in the Boston medical unit of the Army National Guard during Vietnam — stateside. He had to leave the Guard to help his family when his son had a medical diagnosis. Lenny serves his community at church (LCOR–Foxboro), serving on volunteer boards (Gilly's House), donating to various charities (local food pantries) and serving the Patriots for 27 years as their devoted X-ray tech.
