Page 18 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MARCH 31, 2023 OBITUARIES Leonard Constantino, III L eonard Constantino, known by loved ones as “Lenny” left this Earth on Thursday March 23rd , 2023, at the early age of 38 years. Lenny was born in Boston, MA to Cathy and Leonard Constantino, joining the large and loving Constantino family. He grew up in Saugus, Massachusetts with his brothers Brian and Steven “Stevie” and had fun cavorting with his many energetic cousins. Some of his fondest childhood memories were spent at weekly Tuesday night dinners with Nana and Papa, where regularly up to twenty other family members and friends would meet. They made memories and traditions that will continue for generations to come. Lenny always had a deep love for music that was nurtured by his days in the Saugus Middle School and High School Band, and his sets at the high school talent shows were the highlights of the evening. Lenny made lifelong friendships in school that would forever shape his life. His love for music and playing guitar led him, brother Stevie and dear friend Christopher Mackey to Florida. While there he expanded his circle of friends; again, nurturing friendships that he kept until the day of his passing. While down south his musical passions brought him together with his equally musical wife Jeanine Capici-Constantino. They were married on October 17, 2015, in one of the most musical and memorable ceremonies of the century. Together they created a life fi lled with warm holiday celebrations, a deep love for their cats (Nisha and Steely Dan), and most importantly, a shared love of creating music together. Lenny leaves behind a large family and community who loved him dearly. He will always be remembered for being a passionate individual, never afraid to question the status quo. Lenny prioritized his family, showing up with silliness for his younger cousins, nieces, and nephews, and lending support and love when times were darker. Lenny was a man who always showed his true feelings (especially while watching his Boston sport teams, his favorite the Bruins), and constantly fi nding ways of fi lling his world with live music. As we honor the life of Lenny Constantino his family invites you to join their services at Bisbee-Porcella Funeral Home in Saugus, MA on Thursday March 30th from 5-7pm.
