Dedicated to Leonard 'Lenny'
Cox-Vollva. He was a joy to know.

Quotes from those who knew him below:

"I was wondering why I hadn't seen
Lenny in a while, haha... Damn. You
can't just spring that on a gal.
Well... I had known Lenny all his life.
On account of the fact that him, Harvey,
and I were seemin'ly ghostin' along the
road growing up. I remember the day I
dared him in a coffee drinking contest.
We were just about to hit our teens.
He damn-near spat the coffee out his
nose, haha! ...Ah, hell. Harv was better
at this than me. All I can say is that
I'm gonna miss seein' that bastard out
the corner of my eye when truckin'."
-Ginny Orwell, 2007. Friend.

"My lil' baby has gone up to heaven...
Sorry, I-I just need a sec'. No parent
should have to hear that their baby died.
Even if they're fully grown. Heck..."
-Dorothy Vollva, 2006. Mother.

"My little jumper's gone.
What am I supposed to say, I don't
miss him? 'Cause that's just malarky, sir!
I still 'member when his mama and I had to
get outta town before she popped like a
balloon. I parked on the side 'a the road
and told Dorothy to hunker down an' get ready
to push out a baby. I threw the shirt on ma'
back down to catch 'im just in case I was
too slow. We spent years on the road as a
family. We knew he'd want to make his own
stories someday. I walked him out to that
truck and put my hand on his shoulder.
Man-to-man style. Told him that if he
ever, and I mean ever got in trouble,
he knew his momma and daddy would
be there for him. And now... I can't
keep that promise no more. ...Son.
Keep a seat warm for me up there, 'kay?"
-Ken Cox, 2006. Father.

Leonard had no spouse or next of kin,
but he will live on with love.
