LEONARD, Robert F.

Kingman Daily Miner, Kingman, AZ Sunday, October 10, 2010 Robert F. Leonard went to be with the Lord on Monday, Oct. 4, 2010. He was born in Des Moines, Iowa, Nov. 22, 1932. He leaves behind his daughter, Lori (Don) Ruzek and their daughter, Haley, of Fort Mohave; his son, Frank (Nina) Leonard and their children, Tim and Katherine of Riverside, Calif.; his stepdaughters, Noel, Holly and Heather and their children who always held a special place in his heart; his sister, Anne (Harold) Hammer; nephew, Tom (Lori) Hammer; nieces, Cynthia (Jimmy) Romero and Becky (Dave) Horen; and many great-nieces and nephews; and "his best girl," Pearl. He was blessed with many good friends throughout his life who will miss his smile and wit. He also touched the hearts of the staff at the Gardens Assisted Living and Desert Highlands. Thank you for all that you did for my Dad. My Dad was a fun-loving guy who loved to draw, paint and make you laugh. He would give the shirt off his back. He loved living in the desert and bowling. His passion was for sweets, to say the least, especially McDonald's ice cream and a hot cup of coffee. A celebration of his life will be held from noon to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 16, in Kingman. For more information, please call Lori Ruzek at (928) 727-3333 or Sandy Wetmore at (928) 716-4451.
