A hard working supportive man that left no stone unturned. His pride showed in his work. I'll never forget his infamous saying "I've never had a bad day in my life". Always brought a smile to my face. Rest in peace, we will miss you.

Dear Doreen, Lynn, Geri, Frank, Thiffany and the grandchildren:

As we are still trying to cope with the shock and loss of Leonard, we will always remember him as a loving and compassionate father and grandfather and as the cornerstone of the Allegretti household. We will cherish him in our hearts as a dear friend of over 30 years. May our Lord and Savior welcome him and grant you peace and hope in knowing that one day we will be with him (and your mother)once again for eternity.

Love, Bob & Rhonda

Lynn, Kristen & Family -



I am so heartbroken over your loss. Your dad was so wonderful. I very much enjoyed the afternoons sitting on your front stairs and just chatting.



He was such a good person. I know it's hard to be happy right now, but his cheerfulness and generosity is something you can keep with you always. I can't imagine any of you thinking about him and not smiling.



If you need anything, you know we are here.



Lots of Love,

Ken, Deb, Alex, Abby & Millie

I have many fond childhood memories of my cousin, Len. He was always fun to be around when he came to visit my parents, John and Josephine Watson. I will keep the memories of him in my heart forever. My deepest sympathies to Len's children and to his sister, Geri Lou, on their loss. Judy Watson-Schultz
