Hundreds of family, friends and others touched by Lieb’s positive energy and powerful energy have taken to social media in the last week to share stories about his life, time and again describing the hulking weightlifter and martial arts enthusiast as “a gentle giant” and generous soul.
“I used to love going to Tuesday night bingo [at That Meetball Place in Patchogue] and seeing Henry working the door or calling numbers,” Ash Ley posted on Lieb’s memory page at the Giove Funeral Home website.
“He was always so friendly, welcoming, and so funny. Always making sure everyone was having a good time. Wishing you peace and comfort during this difficult time.”
