Leonard was born on September 21, 1939 in Omaha, NE, the son of Arthur G. and Mary E. (Flynn) Umscheid. He made a profession of faith in December of 1979. Leonard was united in marriage with Pam J.

In a previous marriage, Leonard had three children, Donna, Bob and Leah.
He was a veteran of the US Navy and had been ailing since 2004 when he had to retire from American Security.

Survivors include his wife, Pam of Omaha; three daughters, Donna (Kevin) Hirsch, Leah (Andy) Newman and Patty (Steve) Stubblefield; three sons, Bob, James and John and a number of grandchildren; a sister, Margie (Bill) Wade of Oklahoma City, OK and his father-in-law, Gerald Bower of Grundy Center, IA.
