Leonard, affectionally known as Lenny or Boston, attended West Jr. High and Buchtel High School in Akron, OH. After High School Lenny relocated to Houston, Texas and made it his residency until returning to Akron in 2023. While in Houston, Leonard completed a commercial dry wall apprenticeship and did carpentry work for some time. Following that he obtained his CDL Licenses and became a truck driver and drove for over twenty years with various companies and the Port of Houston. \u00a0Lenny had a love for motorcycles, Harleys in particular, souped up loaded pickup trucks, nice clothes, cowboy hats, sharp cowboy boots and the finer things of life. Lenny was the epitome of style and grace. He was a fly and dapper guy with a great personality that had a deep love for his family and friends.\u00a0 Lenny was beacon of light and brought laughter to everyone he\u2019d encountered. He had a heart of gold and would give the shirt off his back if anyone needed it.\u00a0 His infectious laugh and sense of humor always would brighten up any one\u2019s day. Even with his trials, and continued challenges with his health, in life his famous saying was\u201d I won\u2019t complain\u201d! Lenny\u2019s unwavering faith in Christ Jesus always brought him through the most difficult challenges in life and he still managed to have a million-dollar smile in spite of it all, and an upbeat personality!<\/p>\n
