It was a pleasure to have met brother Leonard. He was a genuinely good human being. It was hard to say good bye.

Here's to the man that seemed to have never aged a day over the past 25 years. Not in my mind anyway. Just over a year ago we spent a week together in Maine. Leonard walked miles with us every day through forest in the snow and cold and I wondered...how does he do it? And, I hope I can do that!
I will certainly miss the entertainment that he provided in my limited time with him. No one can take his place, but we will share the stories and memories for a long time.

So sorry to hear of Leonard. Will miss his tireless advocacy for gravesites with the Coalition to Protect MD Burial Sites (CPMBS). God bless him and all his loved ones.

We were very saddened to hear about the passing of Mr.B through a mutual co-worker. We know the struggles for the entire family at this time and all of the energy it took to give him the best quality of life since his illness. If there is anything we can do for his honor please do not hesitate to ask it from us. God Bless
Donn & Esther and Children

We'll have to find someone else to 'steal' our money at "No Aces". We'll need to find someone else who brings their own gravy on hunting trips. We'll have to find someone else to tell us stories about the big one on the mountain. We'll have to find someone else who knows it's not about the hunt but the camaraderie. I'll need to find someone else to find a grouse feather for my hat.

Actually, there is no one else. There's only one Leonard and we'll miss you; especially every year we head north for deer season.

So sorry to read of Leonard's passing. We saw Leonard every year at the CPMBS annual meeting. He was a true advocate of the organization and will be missed. Very nice man. You're in our thoughts and prayers.

So sorry to hear of Leonard's passing. My prayers and thoughts are with Betty and his family during this time. I knew him as a kid delivering their newspaper in the 60s and re-united at Trails End many years later. What a small world.

So sorry to hear of Mr. B's passing. He always reminded us of the actor on Father Knows Best - such a good looking man. He will be missed esp at the Auctions - I know he is attending the big auction in the sky and I'm sure he is already entered into a horseshoe tournament. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Mrs. B, Kenny, Karen, Judy, Sam and the grandchildren.
