Leonard was my “4th” brother. I grew up with him,always, in my life. Our families were very close. I was the youngest. He was always there.
I told people I had 4 brothers. Later I learned Leonard’s name was shorter than mine. I spent summers at the Lott’s. I loved his Mom and Dad. We vacationed together.
He was always my brother and I grew up going places and doing things with him. He taught me to drive a tractor and a car. When his Mom was dying, the doctors thought I was his sister. I lended support.
All my life, he was a part of it. I will miss our visits. He was “Uncle Leonard” to our daughter always.
There is no doubt, he was a good father and grandfather.
His family was small. We were glad to have him be part of ours.
