    I am so very sorry to hear this news! I worked with him at Walmart and he was my favorite coworker ever. Such a sweet man and always smiling. I always wondered what happened to him and how he was and looking at the Altoona Mirror today this made me sad. I hope he rests in peace but boy Heaven sure is getting an Angel back.

    Prayers to you Leonard. You were one of the kindest souls I have ever met. You were so genuine and such a gentleman. Thinking of your family.
