                         HONORING STEVE LEONARD

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. GREG PENCE

                               of indiana

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, December 8, 2022

  Mr. PENCE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and memory 
of a great community leader and a dear friend to so many of us here in 
Indiana's Sixth Congressional District, Steve Leonard.
  A native of Greenfield, Steve has been an active member of our 
community and his leadership will be forever missed. Steve retired from 
a nearly 40-year career at Eli Lilly a few years ago, and, until his 
passing, served as the Center Township Trustee and Chairman of the 
Hancock County Republican Party.
  Anyone who had the pleasure of knowing Steve could tell of a 
friendship with a truly honorable, decent man whose kindness and 
generosity will not soon be forgotten. Even throughout his health 
battle, Steve never failed to put others first and remained a 
dependable leader who fulfilled his responsibilities with dignity and 
grace.
  Steve's example will serve as a blessing to his family and continue 
to inspire those of us who had the honor of calling him a friend. Our 
prayers continue to be with Steve's family; his wife, Janet; sons, 
Steven and Bryan; and daughter, Kimberly.
  It is my pleasure to honor my friend, Steve Leonard.
