Leonard thanks This instant' is all we have. We make plans for the future, we invoke memories of the past, but really, all we have to deal with and to act in is the moment at hand. We cannot stop its going: we cannot hurry the next moment on its way. Like everyone else in the world, were partners in the dull, humdrum, dazzling, fabulous, totally unpredictable moment. And if we have a time that is’ our time, its right now. It has to be, because there isn't any other. Maybe we've had times in the past that were special for us; maybe the future will hold precious moments. But the only time is truly’ our time is this time, where we are, right now. And what we do with this time is ours to decide. You’re peculiar, your promised and presaged moments will last forever. Thanks for being my friend See You Later. Love U Lots "COWBOYS" To The Family I Will Keep You In My Prayers

Leonard will be missed by all. My husband and I were personally blessed to know and work with Leonard at Seton Youth Shelters. He was always positive and up beat and most of all an exemplary roll model for all the youth at the shelters. We will miss you.

Leonard, I love and miss you dearly. You had a profound and prolific impact on my life and I am forever indebted and grateful to you. Your discipline, dedication, loyalty, strength was inspiring to me. Your passion to serve young people and you placed their needs before your own was commendable. You deserved all the accolades. Your life will live on in your children; the young people that you unconditional and diligently served at CEL and Seaton House, and in the hearts of your friends and family

I though of each year of your life as being a minute in time, and I was able to share 55 seconds of your life. You have given me a lifetime of wonderful memories. I thought we had more time to share another laugh, conversation, basketball game, Monk episode, hug, music CD, aspirations, drive, phone call, dinner, movie, Christmas, birthday, weekend, hour, minute or second together. However, God had other plans to bring you home because you have achieved every objective that God needed you to do. I know you are at peace and you have no more worries. We will meet again.

May God continue to bless and keep a watchful eye over your family.

Thank you for being a friend. I.A.A.Y. XOXO

To the Fulton family,
May God give you peace in this time. Leonard was one of the teachers that taught my son. He deposited positive life in him with education and culture. He was firm but fair. He also became my true friend and a brother over the years. I will always remember his smile, humor and advice. He was a good man and I am glad I had the pleasure of crossing his path.
We will truly miss him.

The staff at Seton Youth Shelters will be forever grateful for the time spent with Leonard. It never mattered if you were an intern or full time- Leonard treated everyone the same. One of the biggest lessons I learned was that you can have discipline and yet show compassion at the same time. The kids always looked forward to him coming in and so did we. While he may be gone he has touched enough lives that his spirit will remain with us forever.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and I personally want to thank them for keeping us updated on how things were going.

When I arrived at CEL, Leonard took me in and treated me like a brother. I am going to miss him dearly. Thank you Leonard for your accepting me as family. I am deeply saddened. CEL lost a great teacher, the world lost a great man, and I lost a true friend. One of the "Four Horsemen" has gone to be with the Lord. Until we meet again.
