A true gentleman and good neighbor during our annual sojourns in the Alamo City, Leland will be sorely missed but forever remembered for his many kindnesses.

I was fortunate enough to have been Leland's student and then his colleague. He was a fine man in all ways.

Leland, you were the father-in-law I always wanted. If there'd been nothing more than a common love of trains and cycling, or the fact that I could talk to you about classical music, those things would've amounted to a whole lot by themselves. A man who finds beauty and meaning in both a locomotive and a concerto is a man after my own heart. But more important, there was the man himself. The one with the earnest yet amiable handshake. The one who was inclined to see the good in people. Who was honest and thoughtful and unpretentious. The one who had a warm, happy, easygoing relationship with his daughter -- and my love -- Lynne. You were the father-in-law I always wanted because, most of all, you made me want to be a better person. I'll miss you.

I have fond memories of working with Leland and Monica at Sacred Heart for several years before they retired. They were both wonderful colleagues and I miss them very much.

R.I.P., Leland. By your example, you taught me everything I needed to know as an instructor and administrator. Thanks for taking a chance on me by hiring me all those years ago at SHU.

How blessed and honored I am to be able to call myself his sister. Childhood memories will always be cherished (although full of pranks at his hands). There could never be a better brother. Though distance and circumstance kept us apart for much of our adult lives, my love for him never diminished. He was and always will be my big brother. Midnight Mass always brings tears to my eyes as the choir sings "O Holy Night" - the hymn he sang every year under his father's direction all those many years ago.
God's peace to you, by sweet brother. I love you.

Leland was the best! He was a shining light to his colleagues and students at Sacred Heart University. I feel very privileged to have had the honor of knowing him. My prayers go out to his whole family.

I was a classmate of Lealand's sister, Deanna as we knew her, all through grade and high school. My brother, Jim Campbell and Leland were in the same class and very good friends. My brother passed away in March of this year and am sorry to hear of your loss. Our bodies were made for only so many years and we are thankful for memories and times that are alloted to us to enjoy. The Sr. Mr Roberts instilled the love of music in all of us in our young years and I'm sure Leland was a wonderful asset to all he shared his love with. Blessing to all of his family.

He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below, and his life was full of wonder. What a beautiful tribute,
