Leonard Mills was the father of Henry Mills and grandfather of Peter Mills and Elise.
History[]
Peter first met him when he was at a nursing home, discovering Leonard was dying from cancer and it was a tense meeting. After being told that Peter was his grandson, Leonard attempted to get out of his wheelchair to approach him, nearly falling, but is caught by Peter. With great joy, a tearful Leonard told Peter that he was happy that he got to meet him. It is later mentioned by Peter that the two got to talking and Leonard told him their family was very distant since Peter's parents were interracial; however, it was apparent the Mills family grew to regret their treatment after Henry's death. Peter and Leonard seem to have bonded, as the latter voiced pride in him by being a hero as a firefighter.
He later died down the road, but it was clear he genuinely accepted Peter and his family, as Peter's sister revealed that he left them money in his will.
