Leonard, my friend. We worked together for 25 years. We went through hard times together in our personal lives as well as our professional lives. I last saw you when you retired in 2005. I retired in 2006. You are one of the few people that I have truly missed over the years. The work that you did was always the very best! You were unmatched in speed and quality! Yoy were the hardest worker that I have ever known!
I was searching the net for a contact number to call and talk to you. I was schocked and saddened to learn of your passing. I will miss you.
I hope you were happy. You deserved it, if anyone ever did.
Rosie:
I did not get a chance to know you. Leonard was a good man with a good heart. I know what he believed in and know we will see him again. I know you feel a great sense of loss. I will be thinking of you.
With sorrow in my heart, Calvin Daniel
