He was a botanist in his glory days and now suffers from Alzheimer's. Grandpa Lenny is Duncan’s grandfather. He’s lived a long and full life, compacted with memories that he’d tell his family over dinner. Lenny suffers from Alzheimer’s and so those memories are now more sparse. His mind is deteriorating, but his philosophies have remained unchanged. In the eyes of Grandpa Lenny, you should do what you want to do. If something is bringing you turmoil rather than comfort, why don’t you leave it behind? What good does moaning and groaning do? He loves Duncan more than anything, but he finds his negative point of view tiring and overdone. “I’m doing badly, I’m doing well; whichever you prefer.” - F.
