Sending our deepest sympathy to the family of Leonard. Being a neighbor to Leonard and Doris was a very special time. They were wonderful neighbors and Leonard was always willing to offer a hand if it were needed. And oh so many funny stories he always had to tell. Our thought and prayers are with you all and he sure is in heaven along side of Doris again.

Richard: I was a neighbor to your parents. I remember Leonard being in the yard, with Toby every night, when I came home from work. He always had the biggest smile & would always yell over with a greeting. Your parents were the kind of neighbors this world needs. They were both always willing to help out or let you know they were there, if you needed them. They were a great couple. I am sorry for your loss, but please remember your mom & Leonard are watching over the family as guardian...
