We were very sad to learn that Leonard has passed away, for we know the world has lost a true hero, patriot, and a loving man to all. We feel blessed that we were able to visit him and Jewell in their home while we were delivering "Mouser Books" a couple of years ago! We had delightful time, and even were put on the spot by him to name all the state capitals! We didn't do very well, since we knew very well that he could name them all! it was a visit we will always cherish.

His life and devotion to family and country was a great testament and example to all us who were blessed to have known him. The world will miss him, but we know we will meet him again in the not to distant future, and renew our "old acquaintance" in Heaven.

God bless all of you during this time of parting. Our love and prayers are with all of you.

With great love and sympathy for your family,

Charlie, Barbara (Mouser) Nathman and Family
,

Charlie, Barbara, and all the Nathman Family
