There's never an easy way to say this, friends, but I've just learned that Dr.
Leonard Blake passed away earlier today, August 19.

As some of you may know, Leonard had been in poor health for the past couple of
weeks. After battling pneumonia in the hospital for several days, his family
decided late last week to move him to a full-care facility in West County.

Leonard touched many lives, including my own. I don't have all the details yet,
but there will be an open house this Saturday, August 24, at 1:00 PM at his
house on 840 Berick Drive in University City, Missouri. Anyone who wishes to
celebrate Leonard's memory is welcome.

I'll send out more information as soon as I get it, but if you have any
questions in the meantime, please contact me and I'll do my best to get some
answers for you.

Respectfully,

Greg
