Began as a good customer and soon became a good friend. A person always willing to help. He will be missed……
Sharon, So sorry to hear about Leonard. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Please contact me if you get back to Columbus. Jane Cromwell
I was fortuanate enough to grow up with Leonard in my life. I worked with him many days at my dad’s truck shop and went out to lunch with him a lot. He was an extremely hard worker and could do a lot of things. He was great to talk to and when ever I needed some advice on my car he would help. He was great to joke around with. I have nothing but the fondest of memories. I was glad I knew him.
You where the best thing that happened in life. I looked up to you and loved you so much.You where a great father to me and I could not have asked for more. Even when you had to sneak phone calls just to see how me and your grand kids where doing. You taught me alot and you where there when no one else was. Love you always Dad
Stacy, You were a very small girl when i met your Dad. I knew your Mom from the Bellwood area. Your Dad was really a very hard worker, but a fun guy. His smile is what I remember! He always had that mischevious look, making you wonder what he was going to do next! Keep all those memories in your heart, and know that you have a wonderful guardian angel watching over your family. My sympathies to your family. Sandy (Schmit-Fletcher) Rech. David City NE

To the entire TWOREK family: My prayers and thoughts are with you. I have many memories of Leonard and all of you, esp. when Dad & Mom would take us to your home in Genoa to see Uncle Al & Aunt Helen. I know its been a few years since I had seen Leonard but yet I can still see his smiling face right now. He always had a smile. He pass away on Dads birthday so you can bet hes up there helping Dad celebrate. May God bless you all durning this time. Becky (Tworek) Oppliger

I was fortunate to know leonard when he lived in columbus. Although i havent seen him in years, I can still see the smirk on his face , as though he knows something but isn’t telling what it is . What an incredible loss it is for those who knew him. I miss the old days when he was here and part of our lives . Mark Chappell
I remember Leonard from back in Columbus, Ne. He was always good to me, a kind hard working kind of man. I have some fond memories of him & my cousin Sharon & Stacy, tractors, horses & the creek.
