JAMES LEONARD Jr.

I met and worked with Eleanor on acid rain at EPA; and through her met Jim. My family and I many times enjoyed their wonderful hospitality at the "country place" in Marshall Va. While their depth and breadth was obvious to all; a part of that was their genuine humility: you never learned of their vast scope directly from them. You only picked it up in bits and pieces as you knew them personally. Even now, I was stunned to learn the full range of Jim's resume only from his obituary.

A remarkable man and dedicated to duty. May he rest in peace.

It was a privilege to know him.

The world is a lesser place with is passing and I personally will miss the opportunities I had for conversations with him. He was endlessly interesting to talk to. I am so sad he is no longer with us.

A truly amazing man. On top of all of his accomplishments, he was so kind, generous and warm.
