It is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved Hero, Father & Papa. He fought courageously in true Leonard style a 4-1/2 year battle with cancer.

Beloved brother of Kenny (Marg) and Lloyd. Predeceased by his parents Carl & Sally Brown of New Toronto and his siblings Bernice, Barbara, June, Joyce, Dianna, Frank and Donald. He will also be tremendously missed by the many nieces and nephews he loved dearly. "Wherever you lay your hat, Dad, is where we call home"
