Not sure what to say?

I'm so sorry to hear of Dr. Leadon's death. I wrote a long-belated note to him - as it turned out just days before he died - thanking him for rescuing me from the brink of dispair when I was a graduate student of his in 1967. His wisdom then affected me profoundly, and helped me change the direction of my life for the better. He may be gone now, but he will live in my memory. Thank you, Dr. Leadon.

Condolences to the Cooper/ Leadon family: Bernie sounds like he was a great man, and he has left the legacy of a great family. I'm saddened that I didn't get an opportunity to know him; he sounds like a man of many talents; I also share a love of music, as it is a ministry for me. I pray at this time for comfort for your family. Jesus said, on telling His disciples of his fate, that they will be filled with the Holy Spirit: " I will not leave you as orphans, I will come to you. Because I...

I will miss seeing the smiling face of this very kind and talented man. I will always cherish the night that we spent on our dock in St. Augustine watching the 4th of July fireworks and the many December parties at Monica's. Our prayers and thoughts go out to Bernie, Monica, Tommy and all the Leadons. Love, don and betty ann

To the Leadons & Coopers,
I will always have fond memoroies of your Dad. I always enjoyed our conversations about the physics of swimming - lift, drag, etc.

Having pancakes or eggs at his local cafe was a real treat.

Bernard was so kind while I stayed at his apt. - he was such a great person. I will miss him..
but he left 10 living legacies...

To Bernard's children. I met your father once when he visited Chris here in San Diego. His Christmas card this year was appropriate with its "Let's go home". He is now with your mother. I am honored to say that I knew your father.

My thoughts are with all the Leadon family. I know you have many lovely memories to help you through this time.
With my deepest sympathy,
Eileen Anderson Stephens
