Lenny, a beloved resident at Oakwood since September 2016, was born in the Baltic State of Latvia in 1945. He arrived in America at the age of 8 and settled in a farm in North Carolina with his parents. The small family later moved to Pennsylvania where his father worked for Bell Telephone.

Lenny takes enormous pride in the home he, himself, built for his family – from foundation to roof. With no formal education as an engineer, and no assistance whatsoever from contractors, that home is a source of cherished memories for Lenny’s children.
Lenny married Darlene in the early seventies and raised a family together with her that included Judy, a child from Lenny’s first marriage, Brian and his sister Tracy.
