Leonard was a patriot, entrepreneur, businessman and inventor. He served his country during WWII in the US Army and was assigned to General Douglas MacArthur’s headquarters in the Pacific. One of his prized possessions was a star from General MacArthur’s four-star general’s license plate. With the aid of his wife, Betty, he founded Commercial Refrigeration Co. (CRC) in 1956, which is operated today by his three children. In 1983, with the help of Betty and Joan he opened the Lake Manawa Dairy Shoppe and remained in business until it was sold in 1995. Leonard was always looking for a better way of doing things and was awarded three patents for inventions he developed. Leonard was a life-long member of the Christian Church and was an active member of East Side Christian Church. He was a 50 plus year member of the Masonic Lodge and the Shrine; until 2015 was active in Motor Patrol A and the Corvette Club. There will be a graveside service held at the Omaha National Cemetery on Friday, May 28th at 11:00 o’clock. This would have been Leonard and Betty’s 77th wedding anniversary. In lieu of flowers or memorials the family asks that we all hold those we love close and remember those who have gone on ahead. The family would like to express their sincere gratitude to everyone at Everystep Hospice, especially, Sally and Sam. Obit: Hoy-Kilnoski Funeral Home ******************
