To the Putt family, my thoughts and prayers are with you all.
I meet Leonard when he joined the RC Police Citizen Patrol many
years ago. He was a wonderful man who was always willing to help our unit whenever he was needed. Doris and Leonard were so much fun to be around and lots of good laughs at our Christmas parties.
You will be greatly missed Leonard.
Rest in Peace my friend.

I first met Leonard out on the golf course. Tim brought his father out with us to play. It was a good time even though I know Tim was probably a little frustrated because every time Leonard would tee off he would ask Tim did you see where it went? Tim would reply yeah Dad, you only went like 50 yards in front of the tee box. Good times. Leonard you will be missed. Keep a tee time set up for us until we meet again. Rest in Peace.
