God speed Uncle Leonard,
Although we have not seen each other for more years than I care to remember, I do have many fond memories of our visits. You always had a happy, cheerful and exuberant personality that others enjoyed.
You will be missed.

We are lucky enough to have shared many memories with both Granny and Papa Nicolay since we were babies. From pony rides on papa's knee to eating a bowl of gooseberries before dinner. We will always remember the many lessons learned from you both. Papa was always positive and uplifting, he will always be remembered as the man who could bring a smile or a laugh.
With love, Ashley and Megan
