Dick Leonard was a primary example of why Amica became the successful company that it is and also why it was so great to be part of the Amica "family". It was not at all surprising that he became head of the company's largest department. He was hard-working, diligent and had a tremendous way with the people he dealt with because of his wonderful personality. I am so sorry he is gone.

Ruth and I are very sad at hearing of Dick's passing. We grew up together only houses apart in Riverside. I worked at Amica with him for the thirty seven years that I was employed there. He was a fine gentleman and a good friend. He will be missed.

Katherine and Karen,
Bob and I are so very sorry to hear of Dick's passing. He was a wonderful man and a great friend. He will be so missed by many people. Hope we can get together some time for dinner and/or a drink and reminisce about the great times we had at the Auld Mug and seeing Saucy Sylvia. We have some great memories!! Remember the happy times. God bless you and watch over you.
Love and friendship,
Linda & Bob Gentry

I am sorry to hear of your loss. Because I attended school with Steve I remember Dick from way back. However, I really got to know him when he became my boss at Amica. I will remember him as having a great concern for the people in his department.

Katherine...
Dick will always be in my memory. He fought the battle well and has been and always will be missed. Perhaps when life returns to near normal, we can all get together again where we spent so many good hours.
