George Bill Leonard Jr.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

Growing up in the Stout family, Bill Leonard was an icon and one of Dads best players. We all looked up to him and he will be missed. My sympathies to his family.

WITH DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO THE LEONARD FAMILY. APOLOGY IN DELAY OF CONTACT BUT I WANTED YOU TO KNOW THE LOSS I FEEL FOR MY CLASSMATE, MY TEAMMATE AND MY FRIEND.
REST IN PEACE.

To all the Leonard Family---Bill was such a kind man. Jason and I got to know him through his Heating and Air business. He was a loyal customer since 2005. We always enjoyed our talks with Bill about anything. He loved his wife Mary and children so much. He loved his time working with the tennis team at Catawba. He spoke of it often. We especially talked of the Living Christmas Tree Cantata he was in every year at Church. He will be greatly missed. We loved Bill. We walked his journey the...

Coach Leonard was a true inspiration during my time at Catawba College 2002-2006.

Coach Bill,
Some of my fondest memories of Catawba College Tennis were with you. Thank you for being my mentor, hitting partner, and our teams biggest advocate. You will be missed dearly, my heart and prayers for the family.

Mary and family: What an honor and a blessing it was to sing God's praises in honor of Bill yesterday! We appreciate so much your inviting us to be a part of the service in such a special way. Bill was such a big part of the choir for many years, and he will be greatly missed. Much love to you, and remember - we'll all see him again one day when we meet our Savior face to face! My God bless you all as you adjust to this loss in the days, weeks, and months to come.

My sincerest condolences to Coach Leonard's family. You are in my thoughts and prayers. He was a very inspirational and endearing coach. He had a way to ignite a fire in an athlete but in a calm and respectful manner. I will forever admire that about him and am grateful to have known him.

Mary, Nate and Natalie, What a blessing you had in Bill. He was loved by so many. Always remember his kind smile and joyful spirit. He lived his life well.
Thou, O Lord, are a shield for me...
