I've known Leonard for almost 25 years and can't begin to express how much he meant to so many people. He was sweet, caring and so funny. The guy that never let a moment go by without stopping to say hello. I'll treasure his memory and the opportunity to have known him. Miss you Lenny!

I will always think of going in to Leonard's office on a daily basis with issues and he always had a way of making light of the situation. One day I asked him what he want to do about an NEC user that was having issues and he told me to have them throw the phone out the window. That was on of my favorites. I will miss laughing with him every day. He was a great influence on everyone around him and will be missed dearly. My deepest condolences to Rebecca and his family.

Leonard always knew how to push the limits of political correctness and keep the office edgy and funny. When it came down to it, he was keen to get the job done and doing it with a smile. He will be sorely missed and remembered for the impact he had on everyone he encountered.
