Leonard was a very true friend to me, Allied, and our family. His first question to me was always: How are Mom and Dad? His theme in all our chats was: "I loved working at Allied, and miss it now so much. I wish I could go back". He didn't like vacations or weekends, because those took him away from the love of his life (other than Ruby), Allied. He was a good man...the best! An example to us all. I love him and will miss him! Bon Voyage, Leonard!

As far back as I can remember, Leonard seemed to be a part of the Maddox family since he was such an important asset to Allied Construction Services. This is a loss felt personally throughout our family, as he worked for Allied when my sister & I each worked there summers while in college & then also when my brother took over the company. Leonard was a valued friend whose loyalty to Allied and to his co-workers could never be called into question. My, oh how Leonard shall be missed by all who knew, admired, and respected him, both as a friend and as a man.
