Lenny was the sweetest, most sincere person I've ever known. He was so giving and thought of everyone else before himself. Michele & Lenny taught me so much and always lent a helping hand or ear when I needed it. I could go on & on....I will miss him dearly and love him always!

Michele, Sorry to hear about your loss. I know that you don't know me, but let's just say I am a friend of Michael... Lenny's brother from years back when they lived in Paterson. My deepest sympathy to you and your daughter. I also work with Deb Maher who knows Barbara Mochetta who worked at PCT with Lenny. Michele

Words cannot describe how our family loved, and still loves, Uncle Lenny. He was one of the most unassuming people I have ever met in my life. The day he and Aunt Shel married still stands out as one of the happiest and most celebrated days of our family history. Thank you, Aunt Shel, for bringing this amazing person into our lives. Thank you, Mariah, for giving my aunt and uncle the opportunity to love you unconditionally. Thank you, Uncle Len, for showing the rest of us how living life to the fullest could be. I will miss you forever. Love, Jen

Lenny: You were always my hero and will remain forever in my heart. I love you. Go with God until we meet again. Your Brother, Mike

Michelle, So very sorry about the loss of your husband. Please know that I am thinking of you and your daughter and am available to you for anything that you may need. The frantic last days of school did not allow us enough time to chat, and for that I am sorry as well. Please keep me in mind as a resource to you.

With deepest sympathy on your loss of Leonard.

To the family of Mr. Cerisano: I am truly sorry to hear about the loss of your dear loved one, and wanted to offer my deepest condolences to your family at this time, and I wanted to also offer a comforting thought from Revelation chapter twenty one verses three and four, please when you get a chance read it. And may the God of all comfort be with your family. My Deepest Sympathy, JoAnne

Michele and Mariah - You don't know me, but through Lenny, I knew all about you. I've been a teacher at PCTI for 11 years and was befriended early on by Lenny. We often went out to lunch on half days. Although he was only seven years older, I truly looked up to him (in spite of his love for Jets!). Wish I could give you condolences in person, but please know my thoughts, like everyone else at PCTI, are with you. My deepest sympathies ... Jay Rosenfeld

To the Cerisano Family: We extend our deepest condolences to you. Leonard's untimely passing has affected all of us, but we have a hope that he is in a far better place where sickness and pain are no longer a burden. We will continually keep you in our prayers, and know that if you ever need us, we will always be here for you. Pat and Scott Cumberbatch

My family offers you strength and our prayers are with you. Lenny will be remembered as the leader of "The Cool Guys of PCT". I had some great times with him and those memories will always be treasured.

Dear Michele, Mariah and Family We are so sorry to hear of the loss of your sweet Lenny. Our condolences to you. There's not enough words to say to replace the pain and grief. However, we wish you peace, love, comfort and strength to get through this difficult time. If there's anything we can do for you, please don't hesitate to ask. We are here for you. With love and our deepest sympathy, Dawn, Mike, Cynthia and Matthew Streeter

I am so saddened at the loss of your husband and father. He was truly a wonderful man. Lenny always greeted me with an enormous smile that lit up the room. I was blessed to know him. We all were. My prayers are with you.

Dear Michelle and Mariah, The world is a far better place having had Lenny in it! The hearts that he touched and the lives that he changed through his good deeds and teaching will continue to make this world a better place! He was a pillar to many people! He will be missed! Mariah, your daddy was a very special man! Michelle, your pain is shared by so many people!

DEAR MICHELE AND MARIAH, WE ARE SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. MIKE REMEMBERS LENNY AS THE BIGGEST JETS FAN AND WE WILL MISS MY DAD KEEPING US UPDATED ON HIM. MAY ALL YOUR MEMORIES KEEP YOU STRONG. WE WILL KEEP YOU AND MARIAH IN OUR PRAYERS. LOVE MICHAEL AND MAUREEN KURZYNSKI

I am so saddened to pick up my paper today and see that we have lost yet another great person. I graduated Tech in 1976 and remember Mr. Cerisano as a great, fun person who was always there for the students, not just his own, but for all of us. As seniors, we would all hang out in the morning and he was a good friend to all of us. His smile certainly lit up everyones day! My condolences to his family and friends.

Dear Michelle and Mariah, Words cannot express how much I love Lenny. He was a guiding light for me in my life, in good times and in terrible times. He taught me what it means to be a friend, a mentor, a parent, a wife, and how to unconditionally love people in my life. I know he is now with my dad in heaven and they are probably watching the Mets loose yet another game this season. What I really need to know is: are we having fun yet? Have a nice day now, bye. Love always, Maureen

Dear Michelle & Mariah, I was so saddened to hear about the death of your husband and father. He was truly a good friend to me when I was a secretary at Tech. He was always there for me to lend an ear when I was in need and he had such kind thoughts for me, as did you Michelle when my husband Norman passed away from cancer in 1998. Love, Alma (TX)

Michele & Mariah, Words cannot express what we are feeling. Lenny was not only a good friend, but one of the most kindest and compassionate human being there was. The world is a much sadder place without him. He was always up beat and smiling, except when I was being nice to his mother which really aggravated him. I remember laughing so hard when he got mad that I helped her out of the car and told him what a sweet nice mother he has. He always found humor in the smallest things. He was the only person I knew who would proudly admit he was a Jets fan. We are all fortunate to have known him and to have spent many good times together. We are all here to help both of you in whatever you shall need. Love, Jean & Frank

Dear Michelle and Mariah, I was so deeply saddened to hear of Lenny's passing. He was such a good friend to me at Tech, always offering me useful and friendly and comforting advice when I was having problems from the administration. He made my life so much more bearable. I will truly miss him and never forget him. I can't possibly know how difficult this time is for you, but please know that Lenny and both of you are in my prayers at this very difficult time, and will continue to be. My sincerest synpathy, Sue Dorf

Dearest Michele and Mariah, our hearts and prayers are with you. We truly loved Lenny and will miss him greatly. He was a wonderful man. we feel blessed to have known him. Love, Marcie and Steve

To the family of Mr. Cerisano: I am truly sorry to hear about the loss of your loved one, and wanted to offer my deepest condolences to your family at this time and also a warm comforting thought that I felt would help in the time of your sorrow in the bible book of Revelation chapter twenty one verses three and four there is a hope that God has promised mankind please when you get a chance read it. And may the God of all comfort be with your family at this time. My Most Sincere Sympathy, JoAnne

Michele and Mariah I was so saddened when I spoke to Cheri and Linda to hear of Lenny's passing. I could only remember all the times we spent celebrating Jennifer's birthdays, the trips to Little Italy with Mr. Spoon and Mr Fork lol as well as the trips to DC. You all are so much a part of our family and the memories of you and Lenny will be with us forever. God bless you and Mariah and just know that Lenny is in a good place with Mom and Dad. Love you all.

Michele, Mariah and family- We are so sorry for your loss. Lenny was a great man and will be missed by more people than you can imagine. Our prayers are going out to you now. If there is anything we can do please do not hesitate to ask. Love, Cathy and Bob

Michelle, Mariah and family, My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I am so grateful Lenny was a part of my life. He was there for me when my husband was so ill. He too had cancer, I would discuss the treatments and meds he was getting with Lenny. Lenny's kind words and concern were always appreciated. Lenny had a gift - well many gifts - he was kind, thoughtful, supportive and encouraging to name a few. I wish I told him but I hope he can hear my words. I will continue to keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers and hope we feel his presence. With love, Joan

My deepest sympathies go out to you Michelle and your daughter Mariah. I never had the opportunity to meet Lenny but I see the love you had for him in the stories you would tell me while we shared a room at Freehold High School. I send you all the strength, love and wishes during this time. I will keep you both in my prayers.

Dear Michele,Mariah and the Cerisano Family, My deepest sympathy on the loss of Lenny. He was a beautiful person who was loved by everyone. He was a very special honest friend. I was honored to know him. Love, Arlene Rand

To Michele, Mariah and the Cerisano Family, My deepest sympathy upon the loss of your love one. Lenny has been a true friend to me and I will always miss him. Find comfort in knowing that he is with the Lord and is now your Guardian Angel. Lenny will always be with you in your heart. Love Linda Dudik

Michele & Family I am so sorry to hear of Lenny's passing. I send my deepest condolence and know my prayers are with you.

Dear Michele and Mariah, Please accept my sincere condolences on the occasion of Lenny's passing. We have never met but Lenny and I were good friends during our college years at Jersey City State College (now known as New Jersey City University) from 1966 to 1970. Unfortunately Lenny and I lost touch after graduation but I was shocked and saddened in learning of Lenny's passing when I saw the notice in the Star-Ledger. I wanted to share with you my memories of Lenny, who was a terrific guy. We had lots of laughter and anxious moments together as we dealt with achieving our Bachelor's degrees. Lenny and I met as Freshmen and forged a quick friendship. Since we were both Special Education majors, we shared many classes and experiences together. I vividly remember Lenny's fondest aspiration at the time, that of being the quarterback of the New York Jets. Joe Namath was his hero and he enthusiastically followed the Jets through their triumphs and their losses. I also remember his beloved blue Volkswagen beetle, and fondly remember meeting his parents and his brother Michael on one occasion at their home in Paterson. Mike was only seven or eight years old at the time. Lenny also visited my home in Lake Hopatcong, "in the sticks" or "in the boondocks" as he would refer to my rural residence where I lived with my parents and siblings. We'd also laugh about things we'd seen on Johnny Carson's Tonight show or retell one-liners we'd seen on Laugh-In. Lenny was fun to be around. He was also a very compassionate, sensitive and caring individual who would go out of his way to assist anyone in need. His words of encouragement were very reassuring to those who needed to hear them and he was always willing to, as he would put it, "give someone a break." I'm not surprised to read that he had a long and successful career as a Special Ed. teacher and earned the love, respect, admiration and appreciation of many whose lives he touched. Lenny, as you already know, was a very special person who will be missed by all. Lenny was truly a model to be imitated, a noble example to be followed. Peace, my prayers, good health and blessings to you both.
