Leonard lived in Kansas City until 1947 when his family moved to a farm west of Appleton City, Missouri. It was there that Leonard met his wife Patty Ann Wegener. They were married at Leonard's grandma's home in Linden, Missouri in 1953. They lived in Linden for several years before moving to California for four years where Mr. Gregory worked for Douglas Air Craft. The family moved back to the Appleton City area where they resided until 2003 when Patty and Leonard moved to Windsor, Missouri.
