Leonard STUREK

1936 - 2009  (72 years)

• Name	Leonard STUREK  [1]
  	In February and March of 2013 I was contacted by one of Leonard's descendants who was very unhappy with the easily found, public family information being shown in the family tree. Rather than debate the merits of public information, I honoured the request to privatize the family. In August of 2025 I unlocked Leonard's particulars as he is found on Find A Grave, Ancestry, Burgar Funeral Home (obituary) and others. As a continued compromise, his obituary and headstone images have been flagged as private even though they are found on other sites. References to living individuals - although they can be found elsewhere - have been suppressed with HTML tags in Leonard's obituary.
