    Leonard Ashbarry, 70, of Skaneateles, New York passed away May 6, 2022 after a battle with cancer. Leonard was born to Albert E. and Eileen Ashbarry in Lancashire, England.
    In 1960, the Ashbarry family emigrated to the U.S.A. settling in Skaneateles Falls. Leonard was a long-time resident of Skaneateles where he excelled at slow pitch softball on Morris’ Grill Tournament team which won many tournaments on the Eastern seaboard. Leonard was predeceased by his parents.

(Ronald) Sylvester of Skaneateles Junction, N.Y., nephews, Trevor Ashbarry, Ronald Sylvester Jr., Kevin Sylvester and niece, Emily Ashbarry and several great nieces and nephews.
    Lenny will be remembered for his long-time employment at the P&C/Tops Markets in Skaneateles where he was known by all for his friendliness and good work ethic. Lenny loved spending time with family, watching golf, Manchester United Football Club and The Yankees.
    He loved to spend time driving his Miata roadsters (he had two) with the top down enjoying the Finger Lakes often enroute to play golf with his many golf buddies.

Dear Norm & Marsha,
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no
one can steal. From a head stone in Ireland. Thinking of you both with
our deepest sympathy in the passing of your dear brother/brother-in-
law. God Bless. Shelly & Al

Known Lenny for many years even when he had an MG and i had my TR6. We golfed, played softball , and always enjoyed our annual golf event with all our athletes in the summer. It is a terrible loss for everyone who knew him. Rest in peace.

Lenny was a great guy and a great athlete! One thing about Lenny that not many know is that he was part of our band - The Hangmen - when we were teens. He was as great on guitar as he was for every other endeavor that he pursued. We didn't become too famous as a band because we only did two gigs - one at the Mottville Fire Dept. and the other at the Catholic Church in Skaneateles. I'm pretty sure that we didn't make the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame - but I haven't checked yet! We lost track of each other over the years but my brother, Dan, would keep in touch with him at the grocery store and he would always send his best wisshes back to me. I smile when I think about how much of a friend and great guy he was... I hope to see you "up there" buddy - if I ever make it... My best to the family! Ted DeVoe
