May God bless Leonard and his family. We graduated together in high school. A great friend and person. We knew each other as young kids. Played little league together and were in Boy Scouts. Had lots of good times. I remember Leonard was a great Baseball player on the H.S. Team. He was our leading hitter on the team in 1969. It carried over as a great baseball coach for so many years. God be with you and rest in peace.

Len was a good guy. Many memories with him a lifetime ago. We played baseball together when we were kids. He lived with us on several occasions. Fond memories. He will be missed. My condolences and prayers for the family.

I have very fond memories of him letting me sit at the scorer’s table and help him run the scoreboard during my brother’s varsity basketball games. Cherry Nibs were his favorite halftime snack from the concession stand. He will be missed.
