Good write-up. I grew up across the street from him and his wife. He was an interesting guy. His wife was really sweet.

He had a goal up next to the house. I rarely saw him out there. But when he did go out there, he was lights out.

Really hate to hear that. During my last year at MSU Leland was actually my landlord.

really sad. Hate to hear it.

Leland sold me a life insurance policy when I was a freshman in 1961 and he was probably a Junior. Just making some extra money I guess. Also remember that I could barely eat much less pay for an insurance policy. May he RIP.
