Dear Barbara, Margaret, Barb, Lori, and Dawn, as well as the rest of your family. I was so sorry to hear of Leonard's passing. So many of the 20 years we were in Chesapeake were intertwined with your family as we enjoyed masonic fellowship together. I won't ever forget "my" associate guardian and we send you our love and prayers during this time of loss. Sue and Jeff

I knew Leonard Kilian for many years from Royal Arch and Scottish Rite, he was a very active Mason and gave a lot to every organization he was involved with. He was a good, decent man and I will miss him a lot.
