Leonard was my favourite of the ‘boys’. He was always very sweet to me and I loved visiting at Auntie Katie’s and Uncle Phillip’s farm. The boys were very keen to make our visits to the farm enjoyable. I even came away with a black and white bunny once. I am sorry to hear of of his untimely passing and send my (very late) condolences to you all. It seems that he had a pretty wonderful life. I always loved his rosy cheeks. I have some recently discovered photos to share with the family if they would like. Email, sharox@hotmail.ca - Posted by: Sharon Anderson (Simcoe (Second cousin) on: Aug 07, 2021
