LEONARD ALAN DUVALL

Leonard Alan Duvall, 75, of Bethesda, passed away peacefully at Forest Hill Care Center, March 10, 2021.  He was born May 7, 1945 to the late Ernest and Pearl Duvall.  Also, preceding Leonard in death was his brother, Audren (Tubby) Duvall and sisters, Helen Saffell and Mary Ann Lucas.

Remembering many happy memories are those who survive; sister, Shirley Salimbene of Florida; nephews, Rory (Rebecca) Salimbene, Mark, and Bruce Salimbene and Ron (Robin) Duvall; niece, Lana (Mike) Phillips; and very special friends, Jay and Kathy Gummere.

He worked as an equipment operator for Oxford Mining and enjoyed days spent working on his farm.  In his younger days, he was a very skilled football player. A very trustworthy and special man, Leonard made the world a little brighter, a little warmer, and a little gentler by simply being who he was.
