Leonard Dinsmore passed peacefully from this life the morning of November 30, 2017- after a gradual decline in health. He was surrounded and supported by his loving family and caregivers during the last days of his life.

He was a devoted family man, a devout Christian, and an honest businessman in the community. He was known for his generosity, kindness, and friendly disposition.

He was generous with his time. He volunteered at his church-serving as a Sunday School Teacher, and a bus driver. He reupholstered the pews of many churches- free of charge. He even did free upholstery for itinerant missionaries.

He was generous with his money, too. He gave to his church, and to other charities. He once paid for a new roof on a church in a neighboring town. He gave whenever he saw a need.

Leonard was, also, an honest businessman. He upheld his standards of honesty and integrity- according to his Christian beliefs. The world is a better place because of his life.

If Leonard could have one last wish, it would be that all his friends and family would meet him again- in Heaven. He once told a story about a dream he had. “I used to be afraid to die,” said Leonard. “But I had a dream about Heaven, and it was so beautiful. Now, I’m not afraid to die.”

So, it is “Goodbye,” for now; but we know we will meet again in our sweet Heavenly Home.
