(Kim) Martin; his nine grandchildren; his 23 great-grandchildren; his one great-great-grandchild; his sisters, Evelyn Habel, Becky (Mike) McGuire and Jenny (Ed) Klink; and his sister-in-law, Sharyn (John) Kawecki.

In addition to his parents, Leonard was preceded in death by his loving wife and best friend, Sally A. Martin, on April 4, 2019; his son, Douglas Martin; and his brothers, Peter and Jim Martin.
