Brother Leonard lived simply and was at home in any situation, relating easily and naturally to everyone. He was an avid fan of all manner of sports and was a walker of legendary capacity. His faithful commitment, warm regard and generous service will be greatly missed. Brother Leonard maintained close contact with his beloved family, and they regularly supported his ministry.
