Your father and grandfather had many many amazing qualities but his sense of humor was one of my favorites. He always had that great twinkle in his eye and could say some simple thing that was hysterical. I loved him, it was impossible to know him and not to love him. A more kind and gentle man was never born. I am sure that your mother is enjoying sunsets and stories with him. The gift of having them both in my life will alway be precious to me.

At 94 years Leonard showed us how to live life to the fullest. Whenever we saw each other over the years he was always a "happy camper". It was a pleasure to know him as an Ol' Timer, Icelander, and Unitarian. My condolences to his family.

Leonard will be greatly missed as a long time member of our Icelandic club and as my driving companion to and from those club meetings. He was always cheerful and had a wealth of historical information about our local Icelanders as well as our local community in general.
I never heard him say anything negative about anyone. He was a great positive force in our World
