Leonard was born on November 2, 1941, in Elmdale, Minnesota, to Stanley and Marie (Koshenina) Koroll. He attended country school in Elmdale and in Upsala. On September 15, 1960, Leonard enlisted in the United States Army, proudly serving his country until his honorable separation on June 26, 1962, having attained the rank of Specialist Fourth Class (SP4).

On October 3, 1964, Leonard married the love of his life, Eileen Liebsch, at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Upsala. Together, they built a beautiful life centered around faith, family, and hard work. They made their home on the family farm near Elmdale, where they raised their four children and created countless cherished memories. After spending much of his life on the farm, Leonard and Eileen recently moved to a townhome in Little Falls.

Leonard was a hardworking and dedicated man who spent his years farming and working as a truck driver. He took great pride in his work and was never one to shy away from a long day or a job that needed to be done. Whether he was tending to the farm, hauling loads, or splitting wood, Leonard believed in the value of hard work and a job well done.

Leonard loved camping, fishing, snowmobiling, playing cards, and cheering on the Minnesota Twins. He especially enjoyed his time with the Polish Knight Riders Snowmobile Club, sharing his love of the outdoors and the camaraderie of friends. Leonard was also a proud member of the Knights of Columbus, St. Edward's Catholic Church, and the American Legion in Bowlus. His faith, patriotism, and commitment to his community were important parts of his life.

Above all else, Leonard treasured his family. Nothing brought him greater happiness than spending time with Eileen, their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Whether gathered around the table playing cards, enjoying time at the farm, or simply visiting and sharing stories, Leonard cherished every opportunity to be surrounded by those he loved.

Leonard is survived by his loving wife of 62 years, Eileen Koroll; his children, Robert Koroll, Duane (Julie) Koroll, Lynette (Tim) Opatz, and Lisa (Jasen) Keske; his grandchildren, Caitlin (Matt) Swenson, Brianna (Ryan) Opatz, Zach (Nica) Opatz, Jacey (Ryan) Largent, Alexandra (Ruby) Koroll, Joseph (Abby) Koroll, Ben (Brittney) Keske, and Leah (Gavin) Keske; and his great-grandchildren, Caleb Swenson, Sophie Swenson, Otto Opatz, and Audrey Largent. He is further survived by extended family members and many dear friends.

Leonard leaves behind a legacy of faith, family, hard work, and a lifetime of treasured memories. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
