Born on September 8, 1952 in Centre, Juniata County, he is a son of the late Elmer and Dorothy (Wileman) Leonard. His wife, Martha Hazel (Zerbe) Leonard, preceded him in death. He is survived by his children, Juanita L. Leonard of Lewistown, Ray Larry Leonard, Jr. and his wife Carlena of McVeytown, Amanda L.

Mr. Leonard was a 1970 graduate of Juniata High School, Mifflintown and was self employed and retired from the Recycling business. Ray loved working with his hands, especially on engines and motors; however, his greatest love he shared was with his family, especially his children, grandchildren and his dogs. He will be remembered as a man with a heart of gold who would have given you the shirt off his back to make sure you were taken care of. All Services and Interment will be private.
