For 38 years, Leonard was a supervisor at Morton Salt. In true Leonard fashion, soon after his retirement he began working on lawn mowers to pass the time. Western Auto became a second family to him. Not one to sit in the house, he was always outside working on something while visiting with everyone who would pass by that would stop to hang out. He was a very giving man that would give you the shirt off of his back. His little helper Sebastian was never far away from him. They were glued at the hip. If grandpa took 2 steps Sebastian took 4.
