We’re sorry to hear of Leonard’s passing. Leonard was a great guy and we have many fond memories of times we spent both at work and playing with cars. Thoughts and prayers to the family.
I worked with Leonard at Bancroft. I taught 5th grade there. Leonard will always be remembered by me for his smile and the great chats we had while he spruced up my room! Blessed to have known him. Prayers for Jolynn and kis kids and family. Chris Moats

Jolynn and family, we are so saddened to hear of Leonard’s passing. Such a sweet, kind man. May your memories, family and faith give you much comfort.
Very sad to hear about Leo. I met Leo in 2011 at the end of the school year when I started working in kitchen. Worked 8 years with him there till he retired. He often would come an visit. I called him Uncle Leo. One of his favorite phrases was ” I know all about it Charlie.” Many prayers to his family
