Leonard Arthur Teramani

Leonard Teramani, age 74, passed away from cancer on Thursday, July 9, 2020.

Leonard was born to Leonard Teramani and Virginia (Holland) Smith on October 7, 1946 in Chicago, IL. He loved children and animals and supported the ASPCA and St. Jude Children’s Hospital for over a decade. His favorite holiday was Christmas because he would hunt down the “must have gifts” of the year despite the fact that he would often ruin the surprise
due to his excitement. His best friends were his countless furry, feathered and reptilian companions throughout his lifetime.

Survived by his former wife, Mary Teramani and their daughter Danielle (Paulino) Castaneda; doting grandfather of Jose, Jesse, Lina and Adrian; loving brother to Ronald (Laura) Teramani; dear uncle of Geanine, Elizabeth, Brittany, Donna, Vicki and Robin; “Great” uncle of many nieces and nephews. Forever remembered by his sister-in-law, Marlene Teramani.

Preceded in death by his brother, Nicola Teramani.

Leonard's family will gather to scatter his ashes at his favorite locations. Memorial donations may be made to Rescue the Birds, 2720 Dundee Road, Suite #229, Northbrook, IL 60062.
