Not sure what to say?

Uncle Leonard I will cherish forever. I will never forget our trip back from Indianapolis flying down 27 heading back to Somerset back in the 70’s. Thank you for your kind words. You never spoke much but when you did I knew it was coming from your heart. You will be missed forever and when you get to heaven please tell my dad what you told me. It ment a lot to me and I’ll never forget our special times together. You are a special man that touch my life. I love you.

I will miss my uncle very much. Wish I could’ve seen him more. He was such a wonderful and sweet man. I’ll be praying for the family.

Prayers for the friends and family.
