Dear Chelsea and Karla. Our deepest condolences to both of you and your families. Leland was a great neighbour and friend and was always smiling and sharing his wisdom with us. He really knew a lot about everything!! No doubt he was a really cool grandpa. Sincere hugs to you all. Marlon and Cheryl
So sorry to hear of Leland’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Ken and Debbie Dutka
My condolences to the family. My mom and dad would take us to the Petterson’s every couple of months to visit. It was always a blast. We snowmobiled, rode horses, drove their trucks. I have lots of stories and it was surprising we survived at times. We lost contact for several years so it was a surprise when he let me know he was in Morse. I was lucky to visit him again for the last few years.
