Very sorry to learn about Leland's passing. He was a very helpful neighbor. He and Ellyn were my neighbors for many neighbors. I appreciated how Leland loved his 4-legged furry pals. He would take them for walks around the neighborhood. He will surely be missed by all who knew him. When someone you love becomes a MEMORY that MEMORY becomes a TREASURE.

I remember him always taking care the yard across the street and keeping it so nice for his Mom and Dad. He was so quick with a kind word and a joke and was always full of fun to talk to. During his Father's illness, his mother commented on his dedication and love for them during that tough time. He will be missed by so many and was a great neighbor in every way!
