He enlisted in the Navy upon leaving Western Connecticut State College earning an Expeditionary Medal for his service in support of the Multinational Force in Lebanon.
After honorable discharge he followed his passion and became a Bakery Chef for Abbott Labs. At the age of 30 he was struck with MS. For 25 years, Leonard courageously faced the challenge of the disease. He never lost his smile or ability to be grateful for his blessings, chief among them Ana, his best friend and wife.
Leonard is survived by his wife Ana and their three children, Tami, Amina and Halle. He is also survived by his siblings: Charles, Robert, James, Timothy, Brian, Kevin, Donna, Christopher, Edmond, Gerard and Michael. Also, Ana’s parents: Janchiv Ninj (Jaya) and Magvan Sambuu (Maya) and dear friend Jagi Batdorj. He was preceded in death by his parents, Charles and Grace.
Leonard’s loves included skiing, movies, sweets and the New York Giants. He was especially fond of his beloved dogs Lucy and Snowball. He was never at a loss for a smile and found great joy in all he met.
The family thanks the staffs of Iowa City VA SPI-Neourology team, Mercy Hospital, Dr. Richard Neiman, Dr. James McCoy and the IC Visiting Nurses Association and Comfort Care for their support over the years.
The family asks that memorials be directed to the Disabled American Veterans (DAV).
