To all that have known our friend John Leonard, I first met Jack when my now son in law took a liking to my daughter kelly. A cheerful individual with inquisitive questions.I knew at once I liked this guy!We discussed the installation of a French drain in his maple ave home, which later led to a nursery trip to Clinton for shrubery for his yard,I told jack the only prerequisite would be that he would have to buy the crew breakfast the next morning.He was excited to oblige. What seemed like a long time but was actually shortl my friend moved off to Knoxville tenn taking everyone with him even my daughter.Jason and kelly were married and off to start a beautiful family,and even thought it was 800 miles away and my heart was broken,I felt a calming feeling cause I knew my friend John Leonard was there with them to watch over them.From time to time my wife  son and I would visit the Leonard’s down in good ol tenn and take an occasional trip to flea markets with jack,a wheeler dealer.I always had a good time! I especially was appreciative to jack for the trips to sporting events with my son which there was many.A wonderful caring person who was a loving grandfather to our grandchildren,who we will dearly miss.
