To the Booker Family, I've personally known Lenny since i was about 15 years old because Lenny and my brother Kevin ( Abbott ) Dailey , ( who passed away December 2, 2014 ) were best friends in high school and there after.... My entire family have always loved Lenny, he was such a great kid and grew up to be a wonderful man, husband and father...Lenny was always a great friend to Kevin even after they lost touch , Lenny came up to me at Kevin's funeral and told me that he always loved Kevin like a brother and that he wished they hadn't lost contact when they had both started their own families..I then told Lenny that Kevin spoke of him often and wished the same... Lenny was def one of a kind and to lose him is such a great loss...Please except our condolences and sincerely our deepest sympathy in the passing of Lenny Booker III, he will be greatly missed by many.... The late Kevin Abbott-Dailey's Family xo

I am at a loss for words. I know there is nothing for me to say that will make your loss easier but know that I am sending you my love and support. I hope you can understand what I can't put into words.
Such a gentle giant such a gentle sole...God Bless

Lenny my dear friend, I've always wondered about you over the years. You were one of my closest friends in school. We were always in the same classes and seated close to one another because of our last names. We were always in trouble for laughing talking and just plain goofing off. Man I miss those times, I know without a doubt that you grew into a wonderful young man, husband and father. I pray that you family and friends rest in the fact that you will always be over them, watching them... just in another room. Lots of love my friend, will see you soon.
