Leonard and Corinne were married for 57 wonderful years. He was a caring, loving husband and father who was a great source of inspiration and support. He was a bright spot for his grandchildren, great-grandchildren and all family members, friends and neighbors. Nearly everyone who knew him was a recipient at one time or another of his generosity, smile and big booming laughter. His neighborhood thought of him as the flower and garden man and benefited greatly from his handyman skills.
Leonard began working for Famco/American Air Filter in Louisville, KY in the late 1950s, relocating with the company to Georgia in 1983 where he worked until his retirement in 2004. He is also a veteran of the U.S. Army, serving 1955-1958.
