ON BEHALF OF MY WIFE JOANNA AND I WE OFFER OUR CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILY OF LEONARD. HIS FAMILY AND ELKS LODGE LOST A GREAT MAN.DON & JOANNA STEWART

I hold the fondest memories of Len... from my childhood; splitting wood behind his garage (he said built character) “I think it built firewood" To him and Audrey coming home from a night out, to find us neighborhood guys playing poker at his kitchen table. He always laughed, that Leonard laugh even as he tossed us out of his house… In fact I don't believe I ever saw him when he was not smiling or laughing, even when I brought Mark home after he drank the better part of a bottle of Southern Comfort.
Leonard you keep them laughing up there until we all get there…
