He would listen to it with his friends at Hickory Creek Nursing Home in Greensburg. To Leonard, everyone there was like his family. He was a social butterfly who loved to talk to everyone, especially those who were new residents. He would take them under his wing and be helpful in making them feel comfortable. Leonard was a very generous person. He would always ask if residents needed anything. He would buy games, flowers, and pizza for all to enjoy. Leonard was a go-with-the-flow type of person, who made an effort to make sure to compliment the staff and let them know how good they were doing. He spent a lot of time with the resident pup, Molly.
