Leonard:my dear friend whom I will eternally remember,and miss. Our day's of sitting in front of Portia,and Stephanie's house. Our bicycles blocking the sidewalk. Eating cinnamon toast:wrestling on the grass:jumping across the up stairs front porch:riding our bikes,and singing in Alex's garage until we lost our voices.

Leonard and I met at Washington Irving Jr. High School. I followed him to Mont Pleasant High. He followed me into the Marine Corp. We saw each other in Vietnam. As always, he was a loyal and good friend. To all the Cumming's family, I'm deeply sorry for your loss.
