    Bob was truly one of those rare people who lived a full life and never made a single enemy. A kind and caring man who will be greatly missed. My condolences to the entire Leonard family.

    My son Sawyer, grew up in the Family Business (Family First Realty) as I am an agent there and my father is the owner/broker. I remember him only being a premie and showing him off at the office meeting. Everyone passed him around and loved on him. Bob was one of Sawyers office favorites. We joke because Bob used to say, "Say Bob, Say Bob" to the tiny baby in his arms who grew up not only saying "Bob" but looking for him every chance he went into the office building. They made paper air planes and shot them down the second story, laughed and told jokes. Bob always had the best high fives. Now, Sawyer is ten years old. Bobs memory will live on forever.

    One of my fondest memories of Bob back in the 80's was of him coming to my parent's house to awaken me for a CYO softball game...While driving to the game, the gang of us were treated to Springsteen's "Born to Run" to get us energized....That moment spoke a lot about Bob, helping people and picking them up (both figuratively and literally)....May your family find courage and strength in your memories of him, and may his spirit find peace and tranquility.

    My son Scott Love, during his Middle and High School years, spent many days and probably nights at the Leonard's home. Scott told me once Bob was like a second father. We are sadden to hear of his passing and send our prayers, love and condolences.

    When Bob played softball with our church league team, he would use a thick wooden bat ( everyone else used aluminum bats). We called it his "war club"😂. He was so fun to play with.

    I remember Bob from our days as students at St. Albert the Great. He was a genuinely kind person and a star of the 8th grade basketball team! Sending condolences to Bob's family--he will be missed. Michele Deramo
