Our Dear Friend

After more than 50 years of jewelry, Henry "Hank" Leal, formerly of Leal's Jewelers, has decided to retire. Hank started Leal's Jewelers in the 1950's in Delano, CA. In 1974, he hired Darrel Conner as his manager in the Bakersfield, CA store. In 1990, Hank dissolved his business in Delano and came to the Bakersfield store, Stockdale Jewelers, to help Darrel out. At that time, Hank told Darrel he would stick around for a little while while Darrel got his business going. It's almost 20 years later, and Hank has now moved on to retirement. We will surely miss him and are thankful to call him friend.
