Leonard has always been like a brother to my husband, Tony and me. He was our matchmaker and ultimately responsible for our family.

We thank you Leonard for all the many blessings you facilitated in our lives - and pray for your eternal peace! We both also pray that your family is comforted by warm thoughts of your infectiously positive spirit. We love and will miss you.

It is with a heavy heart that I pass along my condolences to the Denton family for the loss of a man I knew to be engaging, positive, and loyal.
