Leonard was a great guy. Hilarious sense of humor. We were teammates on the Bartlett championship hockey team in 1976. Specifically, Leonard was a defenseman who was impossible to get the puck away from. Truly a nightmare for opposing players. Not only did we play on the same team, but played a lot of pickup hockey when not at school. Went skiing a couple of times together at Arctic Valley too. Truly an honorable guy! Belated condolences, Frank Coleman
