Daniel Leonard Obituary
Macedon: Passed away at home after a long courageous battle with cancer. Predeceased by his mother, Charlotte "Marion" Leonard, father, Robert Leonard and sister, Mary "Thompson" Leonard and critters, Daisy, Rimsky, Sable and Banderas. He is survived by his loving wife, Kim (Vogan) Leonard and critters Mr. Magoo and Cookie Cutter; daughter Kristin Leonard Garcia with 2 grandchildren Justin and Brianna; sisters, Amy Leonard and Bonita Leonard, brother and brother-in-law, Robert (Sue) Leonard and Patrick Miller, father and mother-in-law, James and Colleen Vogan and brother-in-law Donald (Ann) Vogan and several special nephews and nieces, Chad (Nicole) Miller, Charlotte (David) Furman, Angela Fisk, Ricky (Christine) Webster, Bobby Jr., Rachel Leonard, Kaleigh Vogan and Brian Vogan, and great nephew and nieces Brandon, Autumn, Shaylyn and Chloe, and a number of very special friends who were there throughout this difficult time.
The family will receive friends to share memories Sunday, September 28th, 2008 from 4-7 pm at Payne & Murphy Funeral Home, 1040 Route 31, Macedon, NY. Danny's memorial service will be held Monday, September 29th at 11:00 am at St. Patrick's Church, 52 Main Street, Macedon, NY with a gathering immediately following at the Macedon Center Fire Hall, 2481 Canandaigua Road, Macedon, NY.
For those wishing, please consider honoring Danny with a donation to the Macedon Town Ambulance, 1620 Wayneport Road, Macedon, NY.
His passions included landscaping, golf, gambling and bowling, of which he was the last person to bowl a perfect "300" game at Raceway Lanes in Farmington, New York.
He was known in the region as a championship wrestler and pool shooter. There was never a task too big or too small or a friend or family member in need that Danny was not there for. His unselfish dedication to his family and work will never be forgotten. For any of you who did not know Danny, he was the best drywaller in the world, not just New York State and if you had any doubts, all you had to do is ask him yourself and he would be sure to tell you. He was a rare, unique man who once you met, you will never forget. Godspeed Honey Bunny.

Dad
Even though we weren't very close for many years, there was a time that we were and I will never forget them. I remember when I was about 3, you use to sit on the floor at Grandma Carneys house and I would sit on the couch behind you and put pink curlers in your hair. I loved you so much then and love you just as much now. Doesn't matter how many years have gone by or the differences that we have had, fact is, that you are still my father and I am still your daughter and I will miss you dearly. You have 2 wonderful grandchildren, who I wish you could have gotten to know. I love you Dad and forever will miss you.

Though I only met you once, I heard so much about you from Kim. My belief in the energy of the body in the afterlife staying with those of us left behind gives me hope for all of us who might come in contact with your energy.
My thoughts and prayers to your familly, Kim if I had heard the news I would have attended the services in support of you and the familly. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Danny,
I am sure that you are telling God and all the angels the story about how I fainted. I am going to miss that great way that you can tell a story with your great facal expressions. Thank you for being a great friend. Love Jean

Danny was many things to many people, but to me he was my friend, my best friend. Guys like him and friendships like his come once in a lifetime. He will never be replaced but never forgotten!

Danny is now the best drywaller in the Lords house. He must have needed some renovation done, and called on the BEST! He will be surely missed.
