Lynn Slezak "Lenny" age 75, peacefully departed from this world on May 16, 2024, in Salt Point, New York. After displaying immense courage during his long fight against cancer, he found solace in the company of his beloved partner as he joined the hands of God.

Lenny, born on July 28, 1948, in Poughkeepsie, New York. He was the proud owner of Slezak's Auto Body Shop for several years. He found joy in restoring and repairing cars and trucks, with a particular passion for hot rods, Corvettes and speed. In 1983 he bought his forever home, where he cherished his farm and had a penchant for cracking jokes. Lenny was known for his resourcefulness, often fixing things with bailing twine as well as putting chores off by humorously saying that he is waiting for the weather to break.

In 1985, he married his former spouse Charyl Gross, and together they were blessed with two beautiful daughters. Lynn was predeceased by his parents Frank and Irma Slezak, his sister Elaine Hines and Anthony Maggiacomo, his uncle whom he deeply admired. He is survived by Irene Susczynski Gray, his pillar of support who guided him through tough times and stood by his side for 15 years. As well as both of his cherished daughters, Stephanie Slezak and Jennifer Thew and grandsons, Timothy Wyatt and Chase Thomas. We extend our heartfelt appreciation to all those who have accompanied him on his journey. We are truly grateful for your friendship, support and assistance. Although we would love to acknowledge each and every one of you, the list would be endless.

For this one farmer the worries are over, lie down and rest your head, Your time has been and struggles enough, put the tractor in the shed.

Years were not easy, many downright hard, but your faith in God transcended, Put away your tools and sleep in peace. The fences have all been mended.

You raised a fine family, worked the land well and always followed the son, Hang up your shovel inside of the barn; your work here on earth is done.

A faith few possess led your journey through life, often a jagged and stony way, The sun is setting, the cattle are all bedded, and here now is the end of your day.

Your love of God's soil has passed on to your kin; the stories flow like fine wine, Wash off your work boots in the puddle left by blessed rain one final time.

You always believed that the good Lord would provide, and He always had somehow, Take off your gloves and put them down, no more sweat and worry for you now.

Your labor is done, your home now is heaven; no more must you wait, Your legacy lives on, your love of the land, and we will close the gate.

As per Lynn's request, no funeral or memorial services will be held. In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to the Prostate Cancer Foundation.
