My deepest sympathy to the Krawczyk family. Rest in Peace Leonard.

may your soul rest in eternal peace. may you bask in the eternal light of christ. btw say hi to mom from me.

RIP Leonard. I thank you for your support, guidance and mentoring. I will always remember the handwritten letters of appreciation and advice you would send. You always stated what was on your mind. You said it straight and to the point. I try to carry those lessons on in my daily life and business. My prayers to your loved ones and now take a well deserved rest my friend. A life well lived.

Leonard was quite a guy, whether you loved him or disliked him he was a man that was comfortable in his own skin. I met Leonard at the Memorial Day Car Show, we went to the Iron Horse and had a couple pops and started a very strong friendship.

Durand and Shiawassee county will surely miss Leonard Krawczyk.
Rest in peace!

On behalf of the Michigan Cemetery Association of which Leonard was a long time member, we will miss you.

For the support of political leaders? And for creating a place "Everybody wants to go where everyone knows your...
