Posted by Judy Kohne (student and friend) On Thursday, October 11, 2012 So sorry to her of Leonard's passing and sympathy to Leona and all the kids and grandkids. I will remember him as a strict teacher, a great reader of the scriptures, and someone who could fool you and do something crazy and fun in an instant. May all the happy times you had with Leonard help you through this difficult time.
Your smile shone so bright
