Much of what I am as a man I owe to Leonard Armstrong. He was my friend, my father, my deacon. A spiritual leader that taught me about life as a man of God. Sleep well sir, and know that when we all get to heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will be! Love you always, Bishop Lenard Gregory McCray, Detroit MI

I was born in Centreville Mississippi about 20 miles from Woodville. Leonard was a long time subcontracter, a friend and a great family man. His son Leonard, Jr. was like a family member. Leonard is smiling down from heaven. My daughter Amber also sends her regrets.
