What a terrific guy and friend to all! From our early days at St. Charles and over the last 50 years, Lenny 'took the lead' in keeping all of our wandering and unorganized classmates together. He was the catalyst for so many of our activities and all of our "Class of '58" will miss him dearly. Lenny was the definition of a true Christian, caring, unselfish friend! He now most assuredly rests in peace with our Lord.

It is with heavy heart that I write this note. We have lost a truly compassionate and concerned human being.
He was certainly the guiding light for our "Class of '58" and a model for us all.
God Bless Lenny............

Lenny has been a close and lasting friend over 50 years, since we both graduated from St. Charles in 1958. Even though Janet and I have been gone from Columbus for many years, Lenny kept us informed and involved. He was one of the kindest and most caring persons we've ever met.
Rest in peace with the Lord, Lenny, and put in a good word for us. Our prayers are with you and your family.

We are so sorry to hear of Lennie's passing. As a wandering member of the Class of '58, Lennie helped to keep us grounded in our wonderful St. Charles experience by keeping the Class of '58 together more than anyone else. He will be greatly missed. Our prayers are with you.

We offer heartfelt condolences to Lennie Iannarino’s sisters, brother, family and friends. We, too, are saddened by his passing and are remembering Lennie and the family in our prayers.
It was a privilege to know Lennie through his longtime close friendship with our brother Msgr. James L.T. Ruef. We always looked forward to seeing Lennie on visits to Columbus and will always cherish the memories of his great good humor and the hospitality of the Iannarino family.

Lenny was a great man who helped a lot of people and organizations. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him. All of us at Planks on Parsons felt very fortunate to have him as a patron and friend. He was a class act.

Lennie helped me so much over the years when I needed people to help on committees at the Diocesan School Office...He was so generous with his time, thoughtful and wonderful to work with. I have missed seeing him around. May God reward him for all of his good works on behalf of others.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
