Leonard left home at a young age to go to Winnipeg in search of employment where he secured his first job at a candy factory. Through out life he would find work in plumbing, carpentry, auto body repair, tow truck driving, property management, Sears, loader operator and after retirement farming. Throughout his adult life he lived in Neepawa, Riding Mountain, Edmonton and finally Redwater. On July 24, 1964 at 19 years of age Leonard dedicated himself through baptism, to be one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. He maintained a love of the Bible and his God Jehovah throughout his life.

He also loved to dance and tell stories that would have everyone laughing within minutes. He had a large collection of shot glasses and ball caps, but his favourite collection that brought him great comfort was his collection of family photos. He was always very close with his brothers Thomas (Jeannette) and Paul (Marlene) even when health declined he did his best to keep a relationship with them. In later years his declining health required him and Judith to move in with Jayde and her family. Though it was a big change it allowed more time with his grandsons that he enjoyed spending time with.
