Glenn Leonard

Glenn Elmer Leonard was born on 5 September 1915 at East Wareham, a village of Wareham in Plymouth County, Massachusetts, at the head of Buzzards Bay. The Wareham clerk spelled his name Glen in the birth register. He was the first child of Lester Harold Leonard and Grace Frances Snell, who had married at Wareham on Christmas Day 1914. A brother, Everett Wallace Leonard, followed at Somerville, outside Boston, on 17 September 1920.

Glenn married Dorothy A. Burr, a Michigan girl, about 1940, and they made their life in Michigan. In April 1950 they were living at St. Clair Shores, on Lake St. Clair northeast of Detroit. Glenn, thirty-four, was a job setter in an automobile plant, the man who set up and adjusted the machines on a production line. Their sons Gary L., seven, and a five-year-old written as Glenn M. were at home. Their four children were Gary, Gregory, Mary and Michael. Gregory was born at Detroit later in 1950.

Glenn died on 21 November 2011 at White Lake, Oakland County, Michigan, at the age of ninety-six. He and Dorothy had been married almost seventy-two years. Dorothy lived on to 102 and died in September 2021. On 18 September 2021, after her Memorial Mass at St. Perpetua Catholic Church in Waterford, the two were inurned together at All Saints Cemetery in Waterford, in Section 37, Lot 582, Space 4.
