Leonard Nieder passed away peacefully in his home in Palm Beach Gardens, FL. He was surrounded by his family. Leonard was part of the Greatest Generation, having lived through the Depression and World War II. He grew up on a farm in South Haven, MI and attended Michigan State University. He graduated with a degree in chemical engineering and was a decorated WWII veteran after serving in the Army Air Corps. Truly a self-made man, he founded Pioneer Paint Products and served as it's president from 1952 until he retired in 1997. He was an avid golfer and supporter of many charitable organizations. Leonard was fortunate to have found the love of his life twice. He married Mary (nee Shubin, deceased) in 1955 and Beverly (nee Price) in 1997. He is survived by his wife Beverly, his sons, Michael (John Brewer) and Scott (Cindy), Beverly’s son, Larry Crain (Andrea) and daughters, Debbie Hymen (Joel) and Robbie Diamond (Paul). He is also survived by 8 grandchildren, Adam and Jeremy Nieder, David (Lauren), Alexis and Michael Hymen, Gwen Diamond and Lisa and Michelle Crain, as well as two great grandchildren, Emilia and Spencer Hymen.
