Leonard Escarda

We lost a great person and his memory will live on.

I am thankful for the life of Lenny Escarda. He was my first baseball coach in 1958 and I've remembered him all these years. I respected and admired him so much. This world is a better place because of men like Lenny.

What a fighter! I feel privileged and blessed that our paths crossed during these retirement years.
My thoughts are with you and family.

Sincerely, Phil Kirby

Dear Kay, Alan, Terry, Kaylen, and Peri,
Larry and I are saddened to hear of your loss. It goes without saying what a great person Lenny was, and continues to be in spirit and in all the wonderful things that he has done to help others. If there is anything you need help with please call us.
Sincerely,
Larry Susavilla and Marilyn Yospe

My most vivid memory is how the room seemed to light up when Lenny and Kay swept onto the dance floor at the Eureka Inn lobby dances. I am so grateful for having known such a bright spirit as Lenny. Kay and family, please accept my sincere condolences for your loss.

To Kay and the Escarda Family,
Dan and I were saddened to hear about Lenny's passing. He was a delightful person to know and no matter what the circumstances his incredible smile was there. As his family, your loss is tremendous. But his friends and acquaintances are sharing your loss. We are grateful that we had the opportunity to know him. God Bless.

As a classmate and team member in 1949, Lenny had little competition in running or in friendship. Always a friend throughout the years, Lenny was loved and respected by everyone that he knew. I join his family and friends in expressing my grief at his loss.

No one had such an amazing outlook on life with a smile anytime you saw him..than Lenny...even during the last few months. Lenny was truly a blessing to everyone he came in contact with! We have such great memories of our days with the Escarda's at Trinity Village! We will never forget Lenny. Much love to you Kay and your family during this difficult time...

What a terrible loss to the family and to the EHS Class of 49. I was a classmate of Lenny through Jr. High and High School. We had many great times on the track team and playing basketball. He was a great asset as Master of Ceremonies at the Class of 49 reunions. He will be sorely missed.
