Not sure what to say?

Leonard started out as a neighbor, turned into a friend and quickly became our extended family. He will always hold a special place in our hearts and memories. We share in your sorrow with love and friendship and are thinking of you in these difficult times. Wishing his family and friends peace and healing in the days ahead.

We had only gotten to know each other over the past few years, but I truly enjoyed our visits and was constantly amazed at his knowledge and wisdom. I absolutely loved sitting with him and discussing the family genealogy as well as other areas of interest. I have and will continue to think of him often with the most admiration and he will be greatly missed. I wish I had been able to visit him more often. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

This was a remarkable man of accomplishment! As I was personally involved with YNGHA, Leonard's contributions were of paramount importance. Pulling a heavy oar for our Organization, Leonard was constantly willing to undertake new and significant tasks. All who worked with him were grateful for the devotion he showered on our YNGHA. You will be deeply missed. .

My thoughts and prayers are with the Yarbrough family in this time of grief. Grief can be hard but special memories can help us cope. May you find peace in God during this difficult time.

I worked with Leonard and his his obituary accurately describes his relentless pursuit of education and learning. He was always successful and productive in whatever he did. Thanks for the memories Len. RIP Harry Atkins
