To David and Mark and families and his sister Elaine. May you find comfort in God during this time of sorrow. My prayers are with you all.
Leland called me to take him flying several times to look for cattle that had gotten away. We became friends & I always enjoyed his company.
God Bless you Leland, I am sure glad you are back with your beautiful wife in heaven. I loved waiting on you both at Colton's Steakhouse and the friendship we shared.
Mark,
I am so sorry for your loss. I am keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. I donated to Wayside Waifs in memory of your father.
Jenna
Thinking of you all in this unexpected and difficult time. Holding you close in my thoughts.

We have been visiting with Leland for the past several years when we would meet at restaurants and doctor's offices. He was always friendly and we enjoyed many conversations regarding his travels etc. He will be missed.
Our condolences to the family of Leland. He and his wife Sandra came to our Hillbilly Auction alot when she was alive.He was always talking about taking another trip. He always joked and had a smile. Sincerely, Arlene and Roger Phelps
