Biographical history
Born Jan 4, 1921, Leonard served in the military during World War II, with deployments in England and Sicily, and was a member of the Lorn Scots protection platoon. In 1941, he married Ada Elaine, beginning a relationship that would last over five decades. Leonard's life changed significantly in 1949 when he sustained an industrial injury near the McGivney ammunition dump while working with New Brunswick Hydro, resulting in paraplegia. Despite this setback, Leonard demonstrated remarkable resilience, undergoing extensive rehabilitation and continuing his professional career with New Brunswick Hydro for over three decades, eventually rising to the position of supervisor.
Beyond his professional achievements, Leonard cherished time with his family, which included two sons and two daughters. He passed away on June 20, 2002.
