We knew time was short when we put together Lenny and Tracy's wedding within a week...

My friend Lenny has died. He had terminal cancer. He wanted to marry the love of his life before he died.

We had the great pleasure of doing that for him and his bride Tracey in their home in Clairton a month ago. I will never forget Lenny squeezing Tracey’s hand the entire ceremony. She told me, “Marty…all I want are a few weeks with him as his bride.”

I love 'em both. God Speed Lenny.

It's a sad day that we knew was coming, but hoped would not be this soon. We were first introduced to our friend George "Lenny" Wright, Jr's and his then-girlfriend Tracy by a social worker who told us about Lenny's cancer fight and that he had nearly died in the hospital.

In just one week's time, we were able to assemble a team of amazing people and business owners that helped Lenny and Tracy become husband and wife. She was by his side almost as long as he fought cancer. After almost a decade together they were able to officially tie the knot on October 2, 2022 at their home in Clairton. You can watch that amazing ceremony in the video on this page.
