He fought for our country in Vietnam in the Army. He came back with PTSD and may not have been at his best most of his life but he had an eye opening reaction 19 years ago. He tried to make amends for his actions and his family is very proud of him for that. He may not have been the ideal Brother/father but he definitely tried to make a change for the better. He will be deeply missed by many. May God bless him and keep him in his Glory. A celebration of Leonard's Life will be held at a later date. Cremation rites were accorded. Jensen Funeral Home is handing the arrangements. Please sign Leonard's guestbook
