Sorry to hear of Leonards passing. He was a highlight when delivering meals on wheels to him for a number of years. However, he never did give us a piece of his chocolate cake like he promised. But we did enjoy our showing odd tools to each other and playing "guess what this is." Bless him.

Leonard always had time to stop and talk a little baseball and when I would see him occasionally, I would tell him you certainly look better than the last time i saw you. His reply would be, "I certainly hope so." R.I.P.

When a child is born, all rejoice, when someone dies, all weep, But it makes just as much sense, if not more, to rejoice at the end of a life as at the beginning. For no one can tell what events await a newborn child, but when a mortal dies he has successfully completed a jouurney.

I met Leonard over 20 years ago when he volunteered to help me out with a math tutoring program I started at St. Paul's UCC at Martinsville. Just as everybody can sing, everybody can do math, but some are more naturally skilled than others. When it came to math, Leonard was a natural virtuoso. Also, he was one of the nicest, kindest man that I have ever met. He will truly be remembered and missed.
