Leonard E. Peden, Jr.

March 10, 1939 – August 2, 2026

Grandpa, what else can I say other than you were one of a kind. You were so loved when you were here. You were crabby and grumpy, but you had such a big heart. You were like a giant teddy bear inside all that grumpiness. Even the nurses loved you because you "talked sh*t and told it how it was", one even said she felt like she was part of your family. I'm so proud that you were my grandpa, you taught me so much in life. I'll miss all the random phone calls from you asking about bowling, Matt, Ozzy, the cats, the house and work just because you wanted to check up on us and to let me know how proud you were of Miley and I. Say hi to mom up there for me, I'm sure she has a Diet Pepsi and some fried chicken waiting for you.

Private services & interment for Lenny will take place in West Lawn Memorial Park.
