Born in Detroit in 1924, Leonard graduated Cass Technical High School and was immediately drafted to fight in WW II. He served as an artillery reconnaissance officer and was awarded the Bronze Star during the Battle of the Bulge. He graduated with honors from the University of Michigan College of Architecture which began his 65 year architecture practice as the founder of Siegal-Tuomaala Associates, retiring only months before his death.

Leonard was an active member of Adat Shalom Synagogue, serving in many leadership positions, and he was a fixture at the JCC Health Club for over 60 years. Well into his 70’s, he ran circles around guys half his age.

Leonard’s towering intellect and uncompromising integrity earned the respect and admiration of everyone who knew him. He died exactly like he lived; fully in control and on his own terms. He spent his last days comfortably in the home that he designed and built, surrounded by his family and profoundly grateful for his many blessings.

He is survived by his beloved wife Bluma (Sussman), his sons Allen Siegal, Barry(Batya) Siegal, Eric (Jeanne Howard) Siegal and David (Sara)Siegal, his grandchildre, Ariel (Laura) Siegal, Liran Siegal, Julia Siegal and Aaron (Siegal), and his great-grandson Boaz. They loved him deeply and will miss him terribly.
