Tony was a very special person and I feel blessed to have known him. I knew Tony from working in the same building (at Duke Power) and he always had a smile and a kind word for everyone. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Traveling up Hwy 49 to visitation, there was a full, beautiful rainbow that looked like it started over Tony's house and ended at the funeral home... how appropriate for such a beautiful man...
GOD is good....

My prayers are with you boys and the rest of the Leonard family. He was a great dad and you (and the grandkids) were his life. Tony was a wonderful and very special man to me, too. We had some fun and special times together - memories that I will cherish for the rest of my life. Tony will always hold a very special place in my heart - ALWAYS....
Love and God Bless,
Virginia Wingate

My thoughts and prayers are with Tony's son's and family. I had the fortunate pleasure of meeting Tony and his son Bret last year. Tony had a loving and calming presence. His love and devotion for his sons, family and friends will remain in our hearts always.
