I remember first meeting Mr. Leno when he visited my dearest friend, his daughter Kathy, in Alaska. I remember his laugh, energy and love of fishing. He was always so warm and welcoming to me when Kathy and I would visit during my trips to Massachusetts. He lived a long and full life and now the next adventure has begun. Sending love and hugs.
