Mitchel: I first met Leonard when I bought my first suit and overcoat at Cobey's with my dad at age fourteen. He made me feel very grown up. Later Leonard honored me by becoming my patient making the long trip to Chicago to see me. Those visit were as much about catching up with an old friend as medicine. His greatest gift to me and my family was Leonard and Ann's friendship with my parents

Mitchel: I have such wonderful childhood and adult memories of
Cobey's....the wonderful clothing, the personal service and care your Dad provided to me.....and let's not forget the pretzel jar!!! Whenever I saw him after the store closed, he always asked how I was.....such a kind and thoughful man...he always had and will always have a special place within me.
