Leonard was born December 5, 1932 in Marshfield, the son of Matt and Albina (Konop) Gotz. He attended Pershing Graded School in Sherry.

He was married to Clara (Kontoney) Feltz on November 20, 1971 at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Torun in the Town of Dewey, Portage County.

He was called the family man because he married her with 16 children.

Leonard took over the family farm after his father passed away. Leonard sold the farm in Sherry in the spring of 1990 and moved to Milladore. He did not stay retired long and started bus driving for Lamers Bus Lines in Junction City. He finally retired in November 2009.

Leonard was not a man that liked to sit still. He enjoyed gardening, flowers, NASCAR, polka music, telling jokes, and his little Pomeranian who he named “Layla Love”.

Leonard is survived by his seven sons Martin (Margie) Feltz Jr. of Plover; Ernest (Tina) Feltz of Stevens Point; Eugene (Heidi) Feltz of Milladore; Randy Feltz of Edgar; Leonard Feltz of Marshfield; Dennis (Mary) Feltz of Auburndale and Rodney (Dawn) Feltz of Marshfield; six daughters, Clara (Stash) Feltz of Stevens Point; Patricia (Alban) Rucinski of Rudolph; Elaine (William) Kramer of Junction City; Marlene (William) Getzloff of Stevens Point; Jackie (Rick)
