Leonard Larson Obituary
Leonard was a gentle man who lived an extraordinary life. He was an engineer, an inventor of many patents, spoke seven languages and had a vast extent of knowledge in many things. He had an ability to converse with anyone on any topic they chose, and often amazed people with his understanding, and often teaching them a thing or two along the way. He lived his life with kindness and dignity.
