To my Grandpa, the greatest Grandpa a girl could EVER ask for, I love all the things you have done for me in my life. Without you I would be broken, because of you I learned the meaning of Love, Forgiveness, Faith and Family. You will always be and have always been my inspiration. Love your granddaughter

I offer my heart felt condolences to family it is a great loss for them.
I had the great pleasure work with Leonard while working for Scott Paper Company. He was a great mechanic and mentor and eventually became my Foreman a man you loved to work for and give your best to.
As a group of men we all became a band of brothers under Leonard's guidance . We will all miss you Brother and look to the time when we will meet once again.
