Born in Providence, Leonard was a son of the late Allan and Hazel Carlson. He made his home in Rehoboth since 1962, where he built a life rooted in hard work, community, and devotion to family.

Mr. Carlson proudly served his country as a member of the United States Army during the Korean Conflict.

A man of many talents, Leonard enjoyed bowling and took great pride in being a handyman. Whether it was fixing something around the house or lending a helping hand to others, he was always ready to put his skills to good use.

Leonard leaves behind a loving family who will forever treasure his memory: his loving daughter and caretaker Wendy Babbitt of Seekonk, MA; two grandchildren, Nicholas Babbitt and Madison Trombley; and his great-grandson, Ashton Babbitt.
