James Leonard Bennett was, hard working, strong, caring and everything in between. He was an amazing Husband, Father (3 Daughters), Grandfather (6 Grandchildren), and Great Grandfather (2 Great Grandchildren). Anyone that has come to know him has walked away a better person. This world has been an amazing place with him and I can only imagine, that Heaven is even better with him. Leonard has fought his Parkinson's Disease for over 10 years and now he is in Heaven with no pain working in his Shop building furniture, watching Westerns and Food Network, and drinking Papa Coke in his big red thermos. Even though, he may not be here any longer with us, he will always be remembered by his family and friends. We miss you dearly already, but we will meet again!
