George Anthony Leonard, loved the Lord

Mr. George Anthony Leonard, 87, of Frankford passed away Saturday, Oct. 24, 2020, at his home surrounded by his wife Evelyn, family members and staff of Compassionate Care Hospice.

George loved the Lord and was a member of St. Ann’s Catholic Church in Bethany Beach for 21 years.  He also loved the ocean, as well as crabbing, fishing and boating. George also played guitar for the prayer group and other gatherings. He was a U.S. Navy veteran who served during the Korean War era. He retired from Western Electric in Baltimore where he worked as a machine operator for many years.  He was a happy-go-lucky guy who touched many people during his lifetime, and will be missed by many.
