Leonard was a man of strong convictions who took his calling very seriously. He loved his time living on the Pacific coast.

Rev Klippen was a man of strong convictions. While living in Key West he was also a Big Brother through BB/BS of Monroe County.
I worked with him at Genesis Lutheran Church in Elizabeth, Pa. In addition I had the honor of naming Lord of the Seas Lutheran Church in Big Pine Key.
Much love to all the family during this difficult time.

To the entire Klippen family I send my heartfelt condolences and prayers for comfort and strength during difficult time. But I can only imagine the joy that filled his soul when he stood face to face with His Lord and Savior and His master said to him, `Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.´ I know he´s so proud of each one of you. Love to you all, Rance.
