He and Louise Matilda Dittmar, also of Hoboken, NJ were married in the Town of Pamelia, Jefferson County, New York by Justice Chester Paul, Mr and Mrs August F Tafel were their witnesses. They lived in Brownville, NY until 1963, where he was a Vestryman at Saint Paul's Episcopal Church in Brownville. Originally, they lived with Louise’s Aunt, Anna Lawler Tafel.

Lenny enjoyed horses and riding as he and Louise had ridden together when they were still in New Jersey and in NY before they had children. He had artistic ability and was good with math. He was a member of Trinity Episcopal Church in Watertown. On 29 Jan 1968, one day before his wife's 45th birthday and two months before his oldest daughter was to leave for England to study equestrianship, he left his family without a word.

There he divorced Louise and married Gladys “Edith” Keen Adderley from Watertown, New York. Sometime during the early 70s (possibly 1972) he had his first heart attack. After his recovery, he visited Watertown (around 1974) and his saw his three children and met his first two grandchildren, twin boys, Scott and Eric Boyce, sons of his son Leonard William. He and his third wife separated at some time after this, around 1980.
