I was so sorry and sad to learn about Coach Thresten's passing. My sincere condolences to the Thresten family.

Although I am out of town, I extend my sincere condolensces to the entire Threston family. My relationship with Leonard goes back to the 50's when I palyed basketball with him at the Plymouth playground and worked at Golden Quality Ice Cream with his dad.
