I will always remember the fun times we had with Mr. Leonard when I was a kid. He took my brother and I with Patty and Jimmy to lots of fun places. Sleepy Hollow, Boblo Island, etc... Thanks for the fun Mr. Leonard. He was a kind man and always had time for us kids. Rest in Peace.

Uncle Bill was the most gentle man I have ever known. He was so easy to love and loved us right back,unconditionally. Growing up, he was my big brother, teasing, playing rough-house and awesome fun. He was a wonderful man. Aloha me ke aloha.
