Heather Brown says
My condolences go out to his mother Dorothy no mother should have to bury their own child, his wife Bonnie as she had stuck with him fighting to help him for so long everyday of her life, all of the love they shared to keep each other so strong for so long is so beautiful. The people who shared his love everyday who were there to hear all his funny and statements see those smiles on his face. All of his children, his siblings, family, and friends…
Nakitta Leonhardt says
Dad,
You were one of the best things that could happen to us kids and Mom. I don’t know how we ever made it without you. I’m going to miss your heart the most and laughing with you. I know you are in a better place now and that you are not in pain. I love you and I will do my best to make you proud everyday and take care of mom.
Love Nakitta
