Leonard and I were members of the same class of 1955. Its always sad to hear of the death of a classmate and my condolences go out to his family. Over the years Leonard remained a good friend even though we were separated by a great distance. He was there for me when my mother and sisters passed away. He was concerned about the state of my health and we emailed frequently about our conditions. And who can forget all his email missals. I know that he will be missed by many but we rejoice that he is in the arms of our loving Lord.
