He saved my newborn daughters life 5/20/1972 on a Saturday night at 11:00. Such a wonderful man. Richard Huber

Dear Leonard Family, I'm so sorry to hear about Dr. Leonard's passing. I met him only for a short amount of time about nine years ago at Breck School. I was in fourth grade at the time and I interviewed Dr. Leonard for an article in Today at Breck. Since I was young, I have aspired to become a pediatrician and I was given the opportunity to ask Dr. Leonard about his path to becoming a doctor and his experience treating kids. He took much care in answering my questions and encouraged me to...

Dr Leonard was my doctor until I was in my mid 30s. I was a sick a lot as a child with strep and ear infections and had my touncils out at the age of three. I spent many hours at the clinic and only looked forward to the reward at the end of a visit, the little dum dum lollipop. As an adult, I could not find a doctor who was took the time to get to know my health issues like Dr Leonard. Every time I would be misdiagnosed, I would call Dr Leonard and he would fit me in his schedule. He always...

Stan Leonard. A dear man and friend has been lost but we will all cherish his memory until we too die. Stan, we all loved you.

I'm so sad to hear of of his passing. I literally would not be here with out him. In 1976 I was 4yrs old when I was kicked by a horse and ruptured my spleen. Stanley and his brother performed a splenectomy on me and saved my life. I am so lucky to have met such a great man. My thoughts and prayers to Leonard family.

Dear Leonard Family,
I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of Dr. Leonard. He was such a terrific guy who will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him. He was our family physician for years and was an awesome doctor with the best bedside manner.
With deepest sympathy,
Dan Dolan

What a wonderful, kind and generous man. I am so saddened by his passing. I knew him in four capacities. First, he was my pediatrician. I remember my parents driving me to his home so he could analyze my finger after having been bitten by a gopher trapped by a friend. And I remember the countless penicillin shots he gave me for ear infections and sore throats. Next, I knew him as the father of my friend Mark Leonard. Then, I knew him as an avid tennis player playing his nemesis Dr. Redleaf at...

My eyes filled with tears when I read this. Dr. Leonard saved the life of my 22 month old daughter who fell ill with a mystery disease in late 1971. He saved her life more than once in her 6 WEEK stay at what was called Children's Hospital. She had a disease that was called meningiococcemia ...now it's known as Meningitis B. I will never, ever forget him. She grew up to be a wonderful, WONDERFUL woman who's now a mother herself. So to Dr. Leonard's family, our gratitude is bottomless. ...

I remember the first time I met him. I got there early at PYAM grand Ave location, he was parked in the parking lot and even though he was retired, he was heading to Children’s Hospital to see other colleagues and friends. We had a quick exchange of “Hi” and “Have a good day.” He was friendly and smiled brightly. He will be missed. Sending my deepest sympathies during this time Dr. Cynthia Garr. Wishing you and family peace and comfort.
