Leonard Stephen Jajo, our fun and hardworking father, grandpa, brother, uncle and friend was born into eternal life on the morning of Wednesday, December 10, 2014 at his home. Leonard was born in Mt. Forest Twp. on April 20, 1933, the son of the late Stephen and Edna (Dubay) Jayo. While at Wenona Beach, he happened to notice a lady with red hair by the name of Mary Robinson. After asking her to ride the roller coaster with him, they both knew they were meant for each other. They dated, fell in love and were united in marriage on May 9, 1953. Sadly, Mary preceded him in death on May 30, 2005. Leonard proudly served our country with the U.S. Marines during the Korean Conflict and was a member of the NRA. He will always be remembered for his love of motorcycles, photography, camping, deer hunting and spending time with his family. Left to cherish his memory are his five children, Mary Lou (Roger) Ball, Leonard Jr. (Marie) Jajo, Tina (Van) Spencer, Lisa (Bob) Ostrander, Roger (Suzette) Jajo and his siblings, Deloris Zarasus, Edna Miner, Stephen Jajo, Roger Jayo. Leonard was the beloved grandpa of nineteen grandchildren and thirty-seven great-grandchildren. In addition to his parents and his wife, Leonard was welcomed home to heaven by his grandson, Eric Jajo; daughter-in-law, Tina Jajo; father and mother-in-law, Kenneth and Ruth Robinson and sister, Gloria Ballard. Leonard's family will be present to receive visitors on Friday, December 12, 2014 from 2:00 PM until 8:00 PM and again on Saturday, December 13, 2014 from 9:00 AM until the time of his 10:00 AM Funeral Ceremony at Skorupski Family Funeral Home & Cremation Services, 955 N.

I remember uncle Lenard his late night motorcycle rides into standard lake during all hours of the night. He always had the biggest loudest firecrackers in five counties! I remember him Black Russians and most of all the biggest brightest smile a man could have! He always gave the biggest hugs!!! I remember the little snowmobile at his house in bay city and riding it around the yard!!! Just great memories of such a happy , fun guy who just always loved his family ! And I’ll tell you he loved aunt Mary more than anything you could just tell! I know I could!! Thank you uncle Len for so many fond memories , your finally reunited with the love of your life!! Rip uncle Len !

My uncle Leonard is a hero for me.I smashed my car.I was dumb and young and ran.When the police came for me I told him my brother had my car in Detroit.My white Thunderbird was back in the driveway when the police came back And said sorry for bothering you.I think aunt Doloris drove that car afterwards.I don’t know how that white Thunderbird got fixed but I love uncle Leonard.Art and Karen Ballard
