The Wife, our friend Mike, and Leonard Pennario several weeks ago celebrating The Wife’s birthday.

Leonard Pennario passed away quietly last night in La Jolla, California. I am very happy that Mr. Pennario became such a large part of my life.

I first met Leonard Pennario last November when he came to Buffalo to accept his induction into the Buffalo Music Hall Of Fame. Later that weekend, over our lunch at the Century Grill, The Wife accepted Mr. Pennario’s request to write his authorized biography. 

Leonard Pennario was an extraordinary man and he will continue to inspire me every day of my life.
