Just wanted to share a couple of my favorite memories of Aunt Fran and Uncle Leonard. The eulogy mentioned the treats they had at their house. Apparently they had delivery service for that as well, whenever they would come out and visit us at Rosebank they would always bring pockets full of candies. Uncle Leonard would give them out in plain sight of my parents but Aunt Fran always preferred to be sneaky in handing them out.
As a young kid who was in to video games Uncle Leonard was an awesome uncle to have. He used to send us care packages with video games for our old commodore 64. Aunt Fran told me he would go to the old arcades and walk around looking at the popular games and then go home and recreate the programs on his C-64. I remember 1 game in particular, Joust, that I played for hours at home before I saw it in the arcade. I was surprised to see that the arcade game had knights flying around on Pegasus since I had, for months, been playing the game with flying emu. So much fun.
Aunt Fran always referred to herself as our 'Spoiling Aunt' and every time they came to our house she would have a special present for each of us. One of my favorite traditions, which I have to admit I thought was kind of wierd at the time, was that when she would arrive she would say, "I''m gonna give you a lickin'" and then she would lick my face. Not something you would want to do during Covid times certainly, but a memory that i will always cherish as an 'Aunt Fran-ism'.
They were truly one if the kindest and most caring couples i have ever had the privilege of knowing and they will most definitely be missed. Our condolences to all.
Rob and Kimberly Livingston and Family.
