Goodbye Uncle Leonard! I'll remember your smile and laughter. You were kind and gentle, I will remember the stories you told at family reunions. I was so glad to speak to you on the phone, you were a great uncle and I was blessed to have you in my life.
I know I'll see you again one day, and I'll look forward to getting that hug!

I worked with Leonard in Weights and Measures at IDALS. Leonard was a good man and I enjoyed getting emails from him even after he retired.
May God grant you His Peace during your loss.
God's Blessings,

Our condolences to your family. Leonard was a mentor of mine on L.P. gas inspections back when I started with the state in '86. I've also let the guys who knew Leonard about his passing. I regret being unable to attend Sunday, but believe Mike Norris will be there. Again our heart-felt sympathies to the family.
