Leonard had an extraordinary life and was a very lovely man. He was the most unjudgemental person that you could ever meet. Traveling around the world with his co-owned company, VersaTool, he worked in the countries of China, Korea, Australia, North Pole and Singapore to name a few. He loved new places and things, especially the food. Leonard loved a good meal and always had family and friends as companions. Fishing with family and friends was a favorite but the fish fry at the end of the day could not be beat. He truly looked forward to any holiday or family celebration.
Leonard is survived by his siblings, William Smith, Arthur Smith, Joy Smith Bates and Cheryl Smith along with his nieces, Sarai Ivanova, Melissa Cruz, Danika LaBrant and Dorothy Queener.
He will be dearly missed.
