Cinda: Ann & I are sorry to hear of Leland's death and your loss. We will miss his smile, encouragement and "car talk". We will see him each time we see a red corvette.

Dear Cinda and Family,
So sorry for your loss of Leland in his long and courageous fight against cancer. I enjoyed his special form of humor at work and personally. He also was a true professional in trying to do his very best at work. Barbara and my thoughts and prayers will be with you in the days ahead.
