Leonard was a man who truly lived. He adored his wife and children with a heart full of warmth and pride. His love extended far beyond his immediate family — touching the lives of friends, extended family, and even strangers, whom he welcomed as if they had always belonged. Music was one of Leonard’s greatest joys. As a mariachi, he brought light, spirit, and celebration wherever he performed. His songs told stories, carried memories, and brought people together — just like he always did in life.
