To all of Leonards family, I send my sincere condolences. His obituary is pretty spot on and tells it like it is or he was.

We first met in high school grade ten and became fast friends. We were in many classes together mostly Auto and Welding. We both aspired to be welders, yet now I see neither of us did. We both became tradesmen in other trades.

We both had registered to take welding technologies at Sait , but after we both attended a dry run, following a class for a day we both opted out and had planned to peruse that trade via a different route.Haha we both took a different route.

We were kinda two peas in a pod yet quite different. He truly was a funny, shit disturber, joker etc.

Sadly we lost touch, and I had tried to locate and or get in touch, even just recently.I kinda figured someday we would cross paths and meet again. Sadly that day will not come. I bet we could sure swap stories now.

To all his family, once again , I wish you all well, please accept my sincere condolences, hugs and best wishes. And to my buddy Leonard...till we meet again...CHEERS. SINCERELY Mike Hardstaff.
