Leonard "Lenny" Fugaro, 67, of Lagrangeville , passed away on August 13, 2025, surrounded by his family who he loved so deeply. A loving husband, proud father, cherished grandfather "pop pop" and respected business owner.

Born in Yonkers, New York on January 23, 1958 to Patsy and Vivian Fugaro , Lenny grew up to be a successful business owner. He had a career in owning gas stations that spanned over 35 years. His success, hard work and ability to make business deals earned him the admiration of others.

Beyond his success, Lenny's greatest achievements were at his home. He married the love of his life, Elizabeth "Liz," in 1982, and together they built a home filled with laughter, guidance, and unconditional love. They created a family and a foundation that others commended. Lenny was the steady hand his children could always count on, the most compassionate pop pop, and the man who taught those around him what true dedication looks like.

Lenny was truly one of a kind. Lenny was the toughest yet gentlest giant. He enjoyed making those around him feel like family. Lenny found joy in simple pleasures including visiting his beach house in New Jersey, cheering at his grandkids games, making jokes, treating others to dinner, and visiting the casino. His warm presence, wise words, and generous heart will be dearly missed.

Lenny is survived by his wife of 43 years, Elizabeth Fugaro; his four children; Leonard (Crystal) Fugaro, Jenna Fugaro, Chelsea (Dale) Gregory, Nicholas (Alyssa) Fugaro; and his grandchildren, Mackenzie, Leo (Leonard), Bella, Peyton, Sophie, Hudson, and Taytum . He is also survived by his sister Concetta DiGuglielmo; nephews; Joseph and Jonathan DiGuglielmo; as well as, his brother in law Richard Amadio and his niece Maryann Amadio. He was predeceased by his nephew Richard Amadio.

A celebration of Lenny's life will be held on Sunday, August 17, from 3:00-7:00 p.m. at McHoul Funeral Home, Inc., 895 NY-82, Hopewell Junction, NY 12533 . A Funeral Mass will be held on Monday, August 18, at 10:00 a.m. at St. Kateri Tekakwitha Church, 1925 Route 82, Lagrangeville, NY 12540 followed by interment in St. Denis Cemetery.

Lenny's legacy lives on not only in his family's love, but also in every life he touched through his larger than life personality.
