So sorry to learn of Lenny's passing. We go back about 60 years to days in Belle Ewart and summer nights at the cottage and then later some time in high school and after that. Every once in a while I would run into Len. Usually downtown somewhere. He didn't have an easy life. But every time he saw me, he seemed happy to do so, and we usually had a good conversation, if not a political argument of some kind. Love to the family at this difficult time. Miss seeing all of you.

Condolences to the Kochberg Klan. Lenny was a special person. He dedicated most of his life to caring for his mother. His nishima has now joined his father. May you be comforted among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem

More than 50 years ago, I too attended Camp Arrowhead on the shores of Lake Simcoe. Lenny Kochberg a'h was a beloved staff member throughout those years, known and appreciated for his kindness, patience and sense of humour. He came from a large, loving family. I was saddened to read about his passing. May his family derive comfort and solace from the good name he leaves behind. Heartfelt condolences.
