In retirement, he continued to enjoy working with the public in sales of sporting goods, followed by 19 years of service at Ace Hardware, all of which centered on his interest in and kindheartedness for others. Leonard was an outdoorsman who loved fishing and hunting. He particularly enjoyed teaching his children, grandchildren and others to fish. His family relished in his passion and respect for the outdoors, especially enjoying the view of deer, turkey and other wildlife from his home, and the camping trips we shared.
