Leonard loved telling stories to anyone who would listen. He will be remembered for his work ethic and kindness by all who knew him.
Leonard is survived by his daughters Kathy (Randy) Garris Marshall and Deb (Mark) Alexander, both of Warsaw, 7 grandchildren, fourteen great grandchildren, and 3 great great grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his parents and one granddaughter.
