Leland took great pride in serving his country during the Vietnam War as a member of the United States Air Force. His service led him to meet the love of his life in Guam whom he continued to adore throughout his life. He was an avid golfer, a hobby he loved sharing with his wife. Leland appreciated seeing the beautiful landscapes and scenery of the national parks and loved traveling to find every cave and waterfall. Most of all, he enjoyed spending time with family, especially playing with his grandkids.

Leland was best known for his generosity; he never hesitated to support a good cause or charity. He was always thinking of others and never hesitated to go the extra mile for anyone. His family will always remember sharing laughs, pranks, and playful teasing.
