He is also survived by ten wonderful grandchildren and eleven great grandchildren. His brother Vincent (Rosemary) Genco of Jackson also survives him.

Leonard was a World War II veteran of the U.S. Army Air Corp. Leonard and Ann owned and operated the Kibby Cobb Mart from 1963-1989. Prior to that time he was a district manager for the Oscar Meyer Co. He loved playing golf and had many golfing friends. He enjoyed watching westerns and playing word games. His loyal and true companion, always at his side after his wife passed, was his buddy (his dog) Elmo. He was a beloved father, grandfather and great grandfather (" cookie grandpa"). He will be greatly missed.

The Mass of Christian Burial will be on Thursday, May 18 at St. Mary Star of the Sea Catholic Church at 10:00 AM with Father Richard Eberle O.S.F.S. as the celebrant. The family will receive friends prior to the Mass, from 9:00 to 10:00 AM.
