Leonard Henry  Suprise
M.B. Kilmer Funeral Home

SOUTH GLENS FALLS

Leonard H. Suprise, 86, passed away peacefully on December 17, 2014 at the Fort Hudson Nursing Home.

Born July 7, 1928 in Glens Falls, NY, he was the son of the late Frederick and Sarah (Smith) Suprise.

In 1948, Leonard married the love of his life, Adeline Gregory at St. Mary’s Church in Glens Falls.

He was a communicant of St. Michael the Archangel Church in South Glens Falls.

Leonard proudly served his country in the United Stated Army from 1952-1953 where he was stationed in Germany. When he returned home, he enjoyed working at Whiteman Chevrolet for many years with his brother Cordy, and eventually transitioned into selling insurance for the dealerships through General Motors.

Leonard and Cordy could often be found working on cars, and Leonard loved to play golf. He and Addie were avid Red Wings fans and even worked at the Civic Center during their games. During his stay at the Fort Hudson Nursing Home, he loved all the nurses who cared for him. Most of all, Leonard was a wonderful husband to Addie.

In addition to his parents, Leonard was predeceased by an infant brother, Freddie Suprise.
