Lenny Anderson

Leonard Anderson (Lenny) passed away peacefully in his sleep on August 1, 2024. Lenny was born on February 23, 1969 in Neenah, Wisconsin to his loving mother Betty Jodarski. When Lenny was six years old, his mother met Edward Anderson. (Eddie) They married and created a new “blended” family. This new family consisted of four older sisters and Lenny. Ed welcomed the new children into the family by adopting them. This meant a lot to Lenny, and he never referred to Eddie as anything other than “Dad”. Times were tough growing up being the only boy, but it made Lenny the caring individual he turned out to be. Lenny had the biggest heart and would help anyone that needed it. In his younger years, Lenny helped his Dad with Ed’s self-started business EA Service Center. Lenny attended St, Michael’s grade school until eighth grade and then attended Berlin High School where he graduated in 1989. After leaving home, he worked for a plumbing contractor for a few years in Fond Du Lac Wis. He was also employed by Pinnow Sheet Metal installing gutters and Muza Sheet Metal as a machine operator. Lenny’s last 3 years were spent working at Pierce Manufacturing in Appleton. Like his father, Lenny was a “jack of all trades” and there wasn’t anything he would not attempt. In 2015, his mother passed away and Lenny, being Lenny, moved in to take care of his father. Lenny never complained about the care it took to make Eddie comfortable and took care of him until Ed’s passing in 2019. Lenny loved his father and missed him immensely after he passed. Lenny doted over the small dog he “inherited” after Betty and Ed’s passing. He spent many days just taking Suzie for a ride, “just because”. He protected her like a small child. If his body was capable, Lenny was always willing to help. Family meant everything to him, and his credo was “Family First”. His mashed potatoes, sausage and cheese tray, and turkey on Thanksgiving were always a big hit. Lenny is survived by four sisters, Mikki, (Duane) Johnson of Redgranite and their children Nick (Brittany) Schmidtke, and Leah Johnson, Jackie (Jerry) Wallace of Berlin, Beth Pence of Berlin and her children Dani Pence, Alan (Sabrina) Pence, and their daughter Gracie, Tammy Anderson of Madison, and her children, Ann Zezulka, Makaylah Zezulka and Paula Zezulka, (fiancé Jacob Phelps), and their daughter Malayah Phelps; Cousins, Jeffery Anderson, Greg (Kim) Anderson and their son, Brandon Anderson. Also survived by girlfriend Nicole Brimeyer of Berlin and her children, Skylar Holz, Aurora Brimeyer, and Owen Brimeyer, special friend Meena Al-Ghetta of Oshkosh. Last but not least, his furry friend “Suzie” other relatives and many friends . Lenny was proceeded in death by his father and mother, Edward and Betty Anderson; uncle, Eugene Anderson; and aunt Pearl Anderson; and grandparents, Leonard and Pauline Jodarski.
