John Allen Leonard

I know today is Wednesday as I am writing this but I immediately thought of "talk like a pirate Tuesday." I miss those days. It really speaks to what I remember and loved about John's carefree spirit. He reminded me to not take life too seriously.

To Gaye and Family, I am so sorry for your loss and regret losing touch with John. I happened to see Ken Baldwin at an event this week and he told me of John's passing. I was so shocked to hear of it. You may not remember me; I was John's secretary at Mc Cormick Barstow, hence knowing Ken whose office was next to John's. I remember how kind you were to me. Of course, there was never a better person to work for than John. His kindness and sense of humor were endless. I often think of the...

Gaye and family, it was a very nice service and reception today. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. John will be missed. I enjoyed his dry humor.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. John was part of the SKYDEX family and he will be remembered dearly. From the SKYDEX Technologies Team.

Gaye, I'm very sorry to hear of John's passing. I have so many fond memories of John, but none as indelible as our days in elementary school. Looking back, you could already see the traits that made him such an unique person. While we haven't been in touch much since high school, in reading about John's life I don't think he could have imagined living a better one than the two of you created. My sincere condolences to you and your family.

Gaye & family, We want you to know, we will be thinking of and praying for you as the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support from us and so some many of your family and friends. You have our deepest sympathy Love Jim & Kim Beach

John was generous with his time and spirit while being a trustworthy and ver competent advisor...he will be greatly missed.

Gaye and Family, We fondly remember good times with John and you and John's entertaining stories of your young (now grown) boys' adventures. The obituary was beautifully written.
