Leonard was an honorable, loving man. He loved his family, and he loved his neighbors. Everything he did was for the

betterment of his family and his community. He supported his children in all their endeavors. He loved hosting family gatherings, especially family barbecues. A family member summed it up best, "Uncle Leonard, that's my daddy!" Leonard was the consummate family man who lived by the Golden Rule, "Do until others as you would have them do unto you." A private graveside service will be held Friday, October 15, 2021, at

Dayton National Cemetery. Rev. Dr. Carolyn Banks, officiating. The family would like to express our sincere appreciation to the staff at the Carriage Inn of Dayton. In lieu of flowers the family requests that a tree be planted in Leonard's memory.
