We both have wonderful memories of Knoxville, Pa. and growing up with Leland Flint. He spent alot of time at the Forsberg house, and as he said, when he took Mother after her passing, "She made me alot of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches." Leland was such a kind person. He will be missed by all who knew him. Our thoughts and prayers are with Carolyn and his family...............

To The Leland Flint Family,

We extend our deepest sympathy to you upon the death of Leland. I have many fond memories of Leland, which extend back to our early school days when living in Knoxville. I had the privilege to work with Leland at Lugg's Store in Knoxville when we were growing up.
He was a wonderful person, and we had a lot of fun while working at the store. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

This is a man who was a pillar of his community. He was compassionate,professional,and loved people. He tried to make Addison a better place for everyone to live in as not only mayor, but the presence he created.
He took time for others , by making a difference. He will be missed by all.
