Leonard met his beloved wife, Vera, while on vacation in Jamaica – it was truly love at first sight. Leonard loved to travel and enjoyed many amazing cruises and memorable family trips to his favorite destinations such as Hawaii and many historical hotels.
He was a devoted and dedicated father and husband and always put his family first. With all of his successes, his greatest pride in life was his children. He enjoyed celebrating family events, such as his annual New Year’s Eve lobster dinners. Leonard was a movie enthusiast and enjoyed country music. He was an excellent joke teller and had an innate ability to lighten the mood. Leonard had an unbelievable ability to always see the bright side of things ensuring people never lost focus of what mattered.
