Greetings to the family of Mr.Lindquist. May his memory live on in your lives and that each new day brings forth goodness of what he taught us all. It was my pleasure to know you father while I was working at the Minneapolis Club. I enjoyed seeing him and helping out where needed and he often would tell me stories of the old days as well as his insights into the current news of the day. He often would be having breakfast in the Grill at the club with former Vking great Jim Marshall. I could see that they had a great relationship and worked on a number of charitable causes as well. What a blessing your father was to so many and had the good fortune to live a long life among us. A warm smile shall always come to mind when thinking of him as he so often had that special "twinkle" in his eyes when ever I would see him. MAY HE BE GETTING A GOOD HELPING OF PANCAKES,BACON AND OATMEAL,TOAST, AND LOTS OF HOT COFFEE FROM THOSE ANGELS ABOVE. AND NOW I WISH TO QUOTE HIM --AS HE WAS SAYING ON THE DEATH OF SEN. WELLSTONE, "GOD BLESS US".

Leonard was one of the most understanding and motivated people I ever met. We worked together in the arbitration business a number of years ago. He will be missed by many.

Just like Moses who led his people back to the promised land and was still working right up to his death, Leonard Lindquist died in the middle of an arbitration case between Local 15, IBEW and Exelon Corp in Chicago, IL. I will always remember Mr. Lindquist's sense of humor and attention to the facts of this case in spite of his age and infirmities. I only wish we could have had the benefit of his wisdom at the end.

Leonard has been a wonderful inspiration to us all. I feel very fortunate to have known and worked with him. I will miss seeing him walk down the hall and being summoned to his office for some small marketing assignments. My biggest hope is that his vision for the firm holds true and our community involvement inspired by Leonard continues on.

Truly a great man. Few men achieve in a life what Leonard did...outstanding service, maintaining his love of family and always having a great zest for life.

It will always be with fond memories, that I recall Leonard and my adopted family, the Lindquists of Minneapolis.

With Great Admiration and Love.
