January 28, 2021
On Thursday, January 28, 2021, Leonard S. Felman passed away at the age of 85 peacefully surrounded by loved ones. Leonard was born October 14, 1935 in Pittsburgh, PA and was a graduate of Kiski Prep in 1953 and University of Miami in 1957. Leonard married the love of his life, Doni, in 1964 and raised three children in Squirrel Hill. He was an entrepreneur who owned several businesses in his lifetime. Diaper Services to Car Dealerships to Insurance Consulting to being an active board member at Florida Atlantic University, Leonard left a legacy of associates and friends throughout his life who continually kept in touch and admired him as a kind, giving, intelligent and compassionate person. If you knew Leonard you knew about his most recent passion, the book he was writing detailing his amazing life in a way that cannot be captured here. Leonard was preceded in death by his Mother, Ida, and Father, Ruben. He is survived by his wife and best friend Leona (Doni), sister Susan Zelton (Bob), children Robyn Garner (Mike), Jacy Hunt, and Bill Felman (Amy); grandchildren Bryan (Sonya) Zlotnik, Hayley Zlotnik, Joshua Zlotnik, Lindsey Zlotnik, Emily Hunt, Ethan Hunt, Cara Felman, & Gabe Felman, as well as two great grandchildren and many nephews and nieces. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him. Services will be private, because Leonard would throw a fit if too big of a deal was made, on Sunday January 31, 2021. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Jewish National Fund. Arrangements entrusted to Ralph Schugar Chapel, Inc., family owned and operated. www.schugar.com

What a wonderful man we have lost. My Uncle Leonard was such a kind and thoughtful person. He had the most infectious laugh and always made me feel so special when I had the chance to speak with him - he gave his full attention to the person he was with, and that is a gift he gave to others. He lived a life surrounded by love and family and that's now small thing.
My heart is so heavy for Doni and the others who will miss him greatly. My thoughts are with you all.

There simply are no words on how sad we feel on loosing such a good friend. We share many happy memories with him and Doni and we will cherish all of them. We consider ourselves so lucky to have been in the circle of friends of such an interesting intellectual who never lost his sense of humor and was always so kind. Our visits to Pittsburgh will not be the same without his presence. Our deepest condolences to the entire family. RIP Leonard.
