Greetings,

Seven short years ago, my dear father, Richard, passed to the other side. We held a memorial service in Denver, Colorado for him where I shared this small tribute.

Richard P. Leonard
Memorial Service — 8 May 1999, 2 p.m.

Warrior spirit with a diamond mind
Path of light, path of love, path of life, path of perfection,
Ethical and moral guidance.

Spiritual being on a human path,
Clarity, insight and wisdom demonstrated by example
Tolerance, charity, integrity, kindness, trust, tranquility, dignity, harmony, compassion, truth.

He allowed us the freedom to surrender old
fears, old habits, enabling us to cut through the
‘net of ignorance’ as he was grounded in luminosity.

His warrior spirit is resilient;
is more spiritual,
going back to a childlike nature
his curiosity and questioning nature
his playfulness,
his innate morality and nobility.

He has crossed the river of time
We have found the strength to let you go
We remain blessed by your spirit.

Peace.
