Jan and Tom,
What a joy it was to know your dad. He would always put a smile on my face when he came in to see us at the bank. May God’s Blessing and healing be with you at this time.
You are in my thoughts and prayers. I did appreciate the time spent with Leonard while he was a patient at GMC. We had many spiritual talks. He was such a kind gentleman.
