As founder and pastor of New Life Ministries, Lehotsky helped inner-city people get food and jobs. He also headed the Lazarus Housing project, which turned abandoned buildings into livable properties for low-income residents.

"Pray to whomever you believe. Worship or don't, ignore or acknowledge his message. Know only that we lost a good man yesterday but we don't need to lose his ministry. Light a candle and vow that you will hold our leaders -- all of them -- accountable for the souls of all those for whom Harry ministered."
