Leonard, it has been 32 years since you left us but it seems like yesterday I got that dreadful phone call saying you were gone. So, far from home and you went to sleep and never woke up.You had planned on going out with some of your friends that day fishing. Where you had spent the better part of your life but instead you had a date with Heaven. I am sure you can go fishing there and this time for fun and relaxation not to make a living. We miss and love you forever and a day. Someday.I will stroll over Heaven with you. Until , then,my love, keep watch over all your children and grandchildren and the little great g/children.

31 years ago today August 19 1987 you went to your Heavenly rest. You went way too early but the 25 half years I had with you were short but I will never forget them. We almost made it to our 26, a couple more months. I thought it would be a long time but God knew what was best for you. He call you Home because He needed a very special Angel to fulfill a care in Heaven. He took the best. I love and miss you every day and night, the nights especially when i\ wish you were here to talk with me. Take care my love until we meet again.You will forever be my love.

Your 10 Grandchildren whom you never got to meet either are all so special and doing o well with their lies. You would have been so proud to meet them all. Your 4 children have done so well for themselves. I know you are proud of them.Watch over them all Len from your Heavenly Home and keep them all safe and well. Love and miss you always. Your wife Hilda xoxooxxoxoxoox

Leonard today you would have been 84 years old. i always thought we would grow old together but that was not to be. you left me when i was only 45 .that is a long time to be alone especially as i get older. So many times I look at your picture and talk to you and always ask why you had to leave me so early. I know you didn't do it , it was your time to go and you suffered so much with your back and stomach that I could never wish you back here to suffer when I knew you are now in no pain and enjoying the pLace God had made for us. Heaven a beautiful place where there is no more pain and only joy You have many family members and friends now to talk with and you and Howard can sing and he can play the guitar..lol those were the good times when we woudl go back to Cape Breton to visit. You never were hapy leaving there and your heart was always there. so we made sure you got back there for your final resting place as we knew you would not rest easy any where else.So happy Birthday my love and may God hug yout today and let you know how much we all miss and love you.Your wife Hilda

Grandpa Leonard. Sadly I wasn't able to meet you, I wish I had, from all the stories I have heard over the many years about you, it makes me sad to know that you never got to meet me nor Andrew and Nicholas. We are all grown up now, with Nic already a father of a beautiful baby boy. Know that we wish you were here and you are loved and missed by so many people. To the grandfather that was taken way too early. I love you. You're grand daughter, Stacey

Leonard was a fun guy and loved children. If a little guy came to visit , it didn't make any difference what his name was, Len called him "James".
If the little guy was able to tell him his name and Len kept calling him James, he would try to get through to Len that was not his name. Until , one day this little fellow came over and Len called him James and the little fellow looked at Len and said How did you know my name?? LOL It was actually James.
 Leonard was fun  to be around and the children all loved him.They say there are people who never have an enemy in the world, that was Leonard. Where ever we went, he would stop and talk and people would call him by name.
 I wish he was here now to tell one fo his stories.
