Although our paths only crossed once - a tour in Japan in the early 90s - I seem to have enough memories and stories about Lenny to make it seem like we spent our entire Navy careers together. Lenny had a big personality and a big heart; he was a good man.
Update about memorial service for Lenward "Lenny" Faison from his family
“Several folks are wondering about services honoring my uncle. But rest assured that you have not missed anything! We had a few questions for the local hospital regarding his passing and wanted to ensure we were thorough before proceeding.
His FORMAL memorial and committal service with military honors will be held in his hometown of Kenansville, NC on Saturday, July 14th.
My mother Linda and I will follow-up with the exact time and location. We are thankful that he was loved by so many.
Thank you! -Crystal”
FYI: I’ve known and been in touch with Lenny since our first duty station at NAVFAC Bermuda as 3rd Class Petty Officers in 1974/5. I’m planning to attend Lenny’s service. If you’d like me to pass anything along to his family please send along via private message. I’ll print out and deliver to his sister, Linda.
