Leonard loved his pets, Smokey, Freckles, Girly and Lewy. He enjoyed bowling and eating at McDonalds, Nick and Moe’s, Burger King, Outback, Ford’s Garage, Domino’s and Pizza Hut, but really enjoyed having them delivered.
Leonard always enjoyed feeding his dad’s saltwater fish and washing his clothes on his own, but he especially enjoyed driving his vehicle around the back yard and making tracks. He liked to call his favorite people. Leonard’s favorite things were eighteen-wheelers, trains, railroad signals, traffic lights, and mom and dad.
Leonard was the pride and joy of his mother and father. We thank God for giving it to us every day. We would do the event again if it happened the same way.
