Leonard was an innovator in creating and producing original educational television programming for the CBC in the 1960s and 1970s - including the long-running "Chez Helen". He was a gentle-natured man who enjoyed playing bridge, reading poetry, listening to classical music and walking on Mount Royal.

The family expresses its deep thanks to Leonard's team of caregivers and staff at Jewish Elder Care in Montreal.
