We had only gotten to know each other over the past few years, but I truly enjoyed our visits and was constantly amazed at his knowledge and wisdom. I absolutely loved sitting with him and discussing the family genealogy as well as other areas of interest. I have and will continue to think of him often with the most admiration and he will be greatly missed. I wish I had been able to visit him more often. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

This was a remarkable man of accomplishment! As I was personally involved with YNGHA, Leonard's contributions were of paramount importance. Pulling a heavy oar for our Organization, Leonard was constantly willing to undertake new and significant tasks. All who worked with him were grateful for the devotion he showered on our YNGHA. You will be deeply missed.

I worked with Leonard and his his obituary accurately describes his relentless pursuit of education and learning. He was always successful and productive in whatever he did.
Thanks for the memories Len. RIP
