To the family, many friends, and colleagues of this wonderful man Mr. Leonard Riggio fine comfort with you during this difficult time in your lives. Mr. Leonard Riggio was a businessman who, starting in 1971, expanded Barnes & Noble from a single Manhattan store into a nationwide book giant. Thank you for Mr. Leonard Riggio's contribution to the world of reading making them more inviting for casual browsing and socializing. Many enjoyed this great change to reading.

I am sorry to read about Leonard Riggio passing away. I enjoyed working at one of the Barnes & Noble locations as a contract security guard for a little over three years. I liked the friendly store environment, the courteous Barnes and Noble employees, and the friendly customers. I feel that Leonard Riggio did a lot of good to a lot of people. I send my condolences to his family, friends, and his employees of the past.
