As a cousin of Guenveur clan, I have great memories of Penn. He was such a kind,gentle and loving man who loved my Mom (his Aunt Kathleen)and always made an effort to stay in touch with her often and that meant so much to her and in turn to me. I too have Rehoboth beach memories as a kid as well as great memories knowing him when I was an adult. He will be missed.
We will miss you, your smile, your laugh and your love.
Carol, Michael & Ian
All of us in Baltimore will miss Penn greatly.
He was all of children'
Much love to Lucyccccccs 'favorite uncle'
The Lears children (now in their 50s and 60s) loved Uncle LaPenne. Though not technically our uncle, we thought of him and loved him in that way all our lives. We will miss him!
Uncle LaPenne was actually my Dad's (Larry Lears) cousin but all of the Lears children knew him as Uncle LaPenne. We spent many summers with him and Jane in Rehoboth. One of my fondest memories was when Uncle LaPenne found me on the beach (I didn't even know I was lost, but apparently the whole family and the lifeguards had been looking for me). He very quietly and gently knelt down in front of me and said he was going to take me back to Mom and Dad. I just remember feeling very safe with him. He was so kind to all of Larry and Mary's children and we loved him.
My husband Jim and I send our deepest condolences to the Guenveur family, especially Mary Jane. Our thoughts are with you during this sad time.
